If only the way
Was
Clearly marked

We’d
Never descend into
The dark

Yet through
Traversing
Uncharted ground

Are
We truly
To be found

Tried
And true
Vagabond

Traveled
Here and then
Yon

Acquaintances made
Far and
Wide

Deep loneliness
Eager to
Hide

Many a year
Had
Passed

Since
Visiting home
Last

As road
Curved up
Ahead

Waning
Fear and
Dread

Arising
In
Mind’s eye

Crackling fire
And warm
Apple pie

Upon the threshold
Tears
Wept

As
Long ago promise
Finally kept

Hoping
One day
To be

The
Complete version
Of me

Beyond
Fragments
I see

Spinning through
Eternity

In
Motion
Difficult to
See

Every
Rock, blade of
Grass
And gnarly
Tree

And
Don’t forget
You and
Me

Styled his
Hair
Dressed the
Part

Today the
Day
For a fresh
Start

Rehearsed his
Lines
Memorized by
Heart

Today the
Day
For a fresh
Start

Mistakes set
Aside
Far from
View

Time today
To
Start
Anew

A
Map for the future
He now
Drew

Time today
To
Start
Anew

Success
Within his own
Grasp
Lies

Today
He’ll prevail with
One last
Try

If only the way Was Clearly marked

We’d Never descend into The dark

Yet through Traversing Uncharted ground

Are We truly To be found

Tried And true Vagabond

Traveled Here and then Yon

Acquaintances made Far and Wide

Deep loneliness Eager to Hide

Many a year Had Passed

Since Visiting home Last

As road Curved up Ahead

Waning Fear and Dread

Arising In Mind’s eye

Crackling fire And warm Apple pie

Upon the threshold Tears Wept

As Long ago promise Finally kept

Hoping One day To be

The Complete version Of me

Beyond Fragments I see

Spinning through Eternity

In Motion Difficult to See

Every Rock, blade of Grass And gnarly Tree

And Don’t forget You and Me

Styled his Hair Dressed the Part

Today the Day For a fresh Start

Rehearsed his Lines Memorized by Heart

Today the Day For a fresh Start

Mistakes set Aside Far from View

Time today To Start Anew

A Map for the future He now Drew

Time today To Start Anew

Success Within his own Grasp Lies

Today He’ll prevail with One last Try

Patiently She offered encouragement

As her little sister Slowly sounded out words One by one

And painstakingly Put complete sentences together

Realizing with certainty For the first time

She would one day Become a teacher

If only the way
Was
Clearly marked

We’d
Never descend into
The dark

Yet through
Traversing
Uncharted ground

Are
We truly
To be found
