A person's journey in life

The Journey

by RJ

Living in a conundrum of destiny
         existence genuine fate
Indefinite possibilities
         passions create dreams
Vitality pumps through the body
         breathing, inhaling life
Inspiration, heart forms desire
         special loving experience
Now, forever chosen path taken
         remains special, individual
Gamble, seeking paradise
         personal risk is a must
 
Inside a sense of faith dares to
         reach every possibility
Next sojourn deviates unexpected
        new reality grabs hold
 
Apprehension for imminent future
        present phase unknown
 
Composed, courageous
        human form begins energy loss
Optimism begins to fade
        perplexed among emotions
Numbness before long
        replaces normal spirits
Understanding gratification
        found in paradise
Natural human phenomenon
        peace conclusive
Doubting unfamiliar quandary
        questioning reasons why
Reflecting on past history
        approaching events occur
Ultimate finality the body expires
        complete fulfillment
Mystery wraps each soul
        impending journey transcends
