The Learning Curve

The road is long

And steep all the way.

It goes zigzag zigzag,

Has some sharp turns,

Dimpled with potholes.

All the same it leads 

To your promised destination ...

Is there a destination?

Or just milestones..

That will some day

Lead you back home.

I heard they call it 

The learning curve.

You mind the traffic rules.

Gather stories and looks

When you stop at the signals.

Every landscape you witness

On your way is a reflection

Of where you are headed

Because of what you notice.

So pay heed to the navigator..

The sign posts you come across,

And never ever cross the lane.
