My Life In Word

jOURNEY WITHIN

I long to explore your world
Your hideaways and hidden doors
Your stained-glass windows
And hardwood floors
I want to take each stair
One step at a time
So that you may feel
As I cautiously climb
Into the light
Of your precious soul
So that I may see
Your pieces in whole
After I’ve explored
Your soft insides
I want to peruse
Your earthy outsides
Walk barefooted
Through your blades of grass
Hoping you will allow
This stranger’s trespass
As I run through your orchard
Feeling crispness of air
And delighting in the juices
Of your sun-kissed pears
I want to walk the path
To that old banyan tree
Just to read the wisdom
Upon its leaves
I hope someday
You will invite me in
For then my journey
Will truly begin
