Mirror World

Walking the long road

Far-reaching and meandering through plains of damp grass

A pool of rainwater glimmers in the ground before me

Glimmering across the blackened path I step along.

I look down and see my reflection within its cool, still waters,

A reflection of another world,

Of a life I could have been destined to

A peaceful, permanent home

With wonderful friends and family surrounding me

My true love by my side, supporting and encouraging...

This reflection, I look so happy inside that world.

But no, that was fantasy

It was never my destiny.

Fated to walk alone,

To walk onwards into the western sun

To go on this journey of adventure

To fulfill my never-ending calling,

That was my reality.

And I would not have it any other way,

For I know I cannot be like everyone else.

I cannot settle down and live peacefully like them.

The fated heart of a Wanderer.

And I would never wish it any other way,

Never sacrifice all that I've lived and learned in life,

My relationship with the Lord

So much was gained on this road I've taken.

Therefore, I continue walking on

Leaving the pool of my reflection behind,

The reflection of what could have been,

To follow the billowing clouds and the sun before me

As it sets in the far western skies

To find the adventure of my calling

That awaits me!
