The Traveller

by kiwisteveh

I set out from Mount Ambition
Overlooking Doubtless Beach
Where the teasing lights of Easy Street
Stayed just beyond my reach.

I spent some time in Dalliance
Down sweet Temptation Track
How I needed you beside me
As I trudged to Hell and back.

I've rolled the dice in One More Chance
I've danced in Poverty
I lived a while in Struggle Street
On the shores of Hardluck Sea.

I've journeyed to Depression
Through the Gulf of Great Despair
And partied in Elation-
How I long to go back there.

Up the swirling River Heartache
To its source, the Spring of Fears
In the bleak Remorseful Canyon
And the Vale of Bitter Tears.

On the outskirts of Insanity
Near Desperation Bridge
I took comfort in fine company
On Recollection Ridge

I'm here at last at Farewell Lake
Just across from Journey's End,
One mile to go to Paradise
Where I'll hold you once again.
