The Journey

Let me re-post my poem "The Journey" which I posted here in 2005. This new version is edited (by me) last month. See which version you like better. You may find the original version by clicking this link: http://dwickedangel.blogspot.com/2005/04/journey.html



I’ve come to traipse through this wilderness
In search for answers to questions
I don’t quite comprehend;
In an attempt to understand the clues
to all the riddles I’ve come across;
So that I may find reasons to everything that happens.

I may not grasp all;
I may not understand everything.
Still I keep walking —

Singing thanks for the sunny days
and shedding tears for the wailing nights;
Riding the circus of the journey’s roller coaster;
Getting acquainted with the gruesome face
of greed, deception, and betrayal;
Tumbling every now and then;

But still, continuing with my quest —

Until this journey’s got meaning;
Until I reach the finish line;
Until I complete the mission for which I’ve come
and of which up until now I’m trying to understand;
Until the last piece of the puzzle’s in place;
Only then will this soul rest.

i like the lines:
I may not grasp all;
I may not understand everything.
Still I keep walking —

and we must keep walking, because life is an adventure. the finish line? it's still far, far ahead--our final destination.

I prefer a portkey! Or how about if we simply disapparate? :-)

portkey na lang girl. you have to pass the test and get a license to apparate/disapparate. ayaw mo naman sigurong maiwan ang isang eyebrow mo somewhere. hehehe

Disappearing eyebrow? Ano na naman yan?

Teka lang, I never even noticed if those eyebrows are real.

Marami akong spare pencils dito!

HAR HAR HAR!
