Life is a Journey

(Day 8: Thirty day poetry challenge )
Sometimes journies are for miles at end
Some journey stretch for days
But the journey to reach another's heart
Is etched in your mind and it stays

If s/he accepts
The road will be pleasant
Birds will sing love songs
Miles will just fly by
World will seem more right than wrong

Scenery is almost same
Roadblocks may slightly vary
But the joy of the trip
Depends on the perspective you carry

You may hold your hands and walk
You may look into each others eyes as  you talk
But together how you face your struggles
Will make the relationship truly rock

Sometimes you wait for the train
Sometimes you wait for your station
But the ones who live without waiting
Are journeying thru life in perfection

Incase you are running solo
And get bitter looking at a pair
Stop whining and feeling hollow
There is a whole world out there

Incase you see a terminal illness
Staring back at you
Realise that you are the lucky few
Who can see the runway rushing towards you

Others will not know what hit them
Their journey will come to an end
Loose ends that they planned to tie up
Will be dangling in the wind

So enjoy this leg of your journey
And cherish each moment and view
Share and laugh with your fellow travellers
Because days are numbered
for both me and you
