A Voyage

Once in a while
We wander to some places
That belonged within us
To our ocean of inability
And insecurities
Which we traveled for hours,
And to the memories that faded
And scattered happiness
We once felt.
To the billions
Of embarrassment
And disappointment;
We failed to forgive ourselves
For the wrong steps we took
And for the emotions
We spilled.
From the vast ocean
Of thoughts
We came to the mountains
Of sadness
And then it rained
From the tears we shed.
We tramped slovenly
Taking streets with
Hopeless lights
Heading home---
To the place we hoped
We'll feel at peace
Somehow.
