Are you a leader?
Do you follow?
Do you walk with the masses
or in the silence of your own thoughts?
Only you can know where your direction leads.
Give us a glimpse of your journey,
knowing we’ll be with you every step of the way.
MARIE ELENA’S PATH:
Elements of Design
a sonnet
Her longings go beyond where he has led.
His nightmares see her leaving him behind.
She takes his hand, in hopes that he will tread
Uncertain pathways – pages yet unlined.
His ruler and his compass firmly gripped,
He pointedly denotes their journey’s source.
Just staring blankly, feeling ill-equipped –
No dots to link; no way to chart their course.
She tenderly removes the tools in hand,
Endows him with a palette of rich hues,
Presents him with a canvassed-life unplanned;
Excitedly, they watch the tints diffuse.
Her watercolor fantasies achieved;
His fear of spontaneity relieved.
WALT’S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE:
WHERE I GO, WILL YOU FOLLOW?
The journey is long in this life.
We share our joys; suffer through strife
learning to give and love and grow,
teaching to others what we know;
this experiment in true-life.
In this life, we find it is rife
with heartaches that cut like a knife,
but we carry on even though
the journey is long.
From here until the afterlife,
I will walk all paths in this life.
The world has so much more to show.
So much to see before I go,
and here I’m stuck in this mid-life?
The journey is long.
