The Journey Experienced

Snapshots of life’s moments

Trying to freeze all into that second

Wishing to compress and store

Yet,

(It) Carries loads of stories

Memories

Unsaid volumes

Bringing out of the closet

So much of your own being

In moments of solitude

Trying to relive it all

Wanting to understand

What you were

What you aspired to be

What you are

Not a comfortable moment

Confronting yourself

Measuring achievements, of worldly possessions

Measuring achievements, of your inner being

Travelling frequently is enjoyable

Not to see new places

Not to meet new people

The solitude with self is most enriching

Move into own created cocoon

Live in the cave of inner being

Secluded, cut-off from all trappings of civilization

Clinging to the inner being

Being what you want to be

The danger of getting too deep

The danger of getting lost

Always lurking with each passing second

But frequent introduction to self

Is fulfilling

Not too much achieved

Yet satisfied

Not lost sight of the inner being

Positive energy still survives

Eggs on

Be happy for what you have

Not long for what you don’t

Or won’t have

Cherish and enjoy what survives

And lives on
