I walk the long winding road ahead of me
Hoping to reach my destination hitherto unknown
Dark and dusty, not a soul in sight
I walk this path, empty and forlorn
The path seem familiar, like I have been here before
But that would be impossible, as I am hoping for a new start
A new wake of life, new possibilities and new acquaintances
But it all seems the same to me deep inside my heart
The bright sunny days have long gone, to be replaced by murky weather
The skies are dark, there is a storm brewing
The clap of thunder, the lightning fork in the horizon
Tells a story of change, my trepidations about which is growing
I take shelter from the impending storm
which as promised is rough and hostile
I fall asleep in my little refuge I have, hoping for a new dawn
Praying that my efforts for a better future was not futile
The skies clear soon enough, paving way for my journey ahead
The world seems so fresh, the earthly scent titillating my senses
I ready myself for the challenges awaiting me
To a new wake of life, new times, dropping all pretenses
It is a new beginning, these are unchartered waters
These are exciting times, expectations and hopes galore
I take that first step, after all those trials and tribulations
To a new beginning, a way I am yet to explore
We leave behind those who meant so much to us in our journey so far
But are we really, when inside us their thoughts and memories reign
Do not despair this is not good bye,
Just a brief pause, until we meet again
Until we meet again....
