The Journey

Once I met a young lady
More of a girl she was
Her manners were childish
But her actions ripened
She came to me, but as i held my hand,
She said she wouldnt stop...

And I saw her go
She flew with the birds
Swam in the river
Danced with the bees
And grew with the leaves

I could not resist,
So I joined in
She took me to the great mountains
And to the deepest of seas
We saw the dark forests
And the dessicated deserts
I held her hand all through
For I did not know the way
And apparently she did

When we were back,
I left her hand
And asked her to stop

"I want to talk"

"I would love to,
but I cannot stop."

"We would have to part then.
I want to fly with you forever,
but I am tired.
I guess I would rest here...
We may not meet again,
but that is okay.
I need to go to sleep.
But before you go,
let me know your name,
so that I will rest in peace"

"Life", she said, and flew away with the wind.
