Life’s Journey

Life never promises to be easy, never to be gentle, never to be fair. It tosses and turns like the waves, deep into the middle of the ocean. My head being submerged until I can no longer bring myself to gasp for air. Drifting

Down,

Down,

Down.

But life never promised to be fair, to be gentle, to be easy. You begin and end this life with a singular breath. Inhale, exhale. But everything in between? It’s uncharted territory. Lefts and rights. Ups and downs. Genuine laughs and uncontrollable tears. Love and loss. The tears flow down my face, and yet, no one is there to wipe them… So they gather at the base of my chin.

Dripping

Down,

Down,

Down.

Although, life never promised to be gentle, to be fair, to be easy. She delivered us all into the middle of a labyrinth, destining us to a lifetime of trying to unearth the map while we fumble our way through. The perfect game. I keep losing my sense of direction. Blindly hurling myself through the never ending maze. The wind and branches whipping through what tattered clothes remain, un-clinging themselves from my skin.

Dropping

Down,

Down,

Down.

This life never promised to be easy, to be fair, to be gentle. But she did promise one thing. Finite time. I guess it’s up to me to figure out what to do with it. Clocks ticking, days passing, seasons changing. She moves. Never too fast, never too slow… But she moves. And when my time comes, and the promise of finite moments is fulfilled,

She will carry me

On,

On,

On.
