Fellow Traveller

I was walking down the road and I thought I knew the directions 

I was carrying some baggage and never had time for reflections 

Life became a journey .... where a destination was not required 

I had become the traveller and it was the “stops” that I admired 

With no want of a destination and a carefree surrender

I never realised that “life” needed a companion 

With whom I could view all its wonders

The wonders in ....

The gentle rhythmic sounds from my laptop keys as I worked long evenings 

The wonders in the delicious smells of a new recipe that I had tried making 

And the wonders in the weighty comfort of my cats on my tired being 

It all came to me in a slow yet steady jolt 

When I realised that life without you would be a life untold 

So this journey ... my fellow traveller is far from over .....

But I’m so glad it is with you that I get to share this roller coaster!!
