Travel

Proverbs 16:20 20 He who heeds the word wisely will find good,
And whoever trusts in the Lord, happy is he.
 Travel

 

Travel without a road map

and just choose a direction

to wind up where you want to be

as seemingly beyond.

Good reasoning and planning

that shows at an intersection

what way to go and where to rest

and to know what is up front.

 

Life itself is that way

and rests on these conditions.

Seldom will you wind up

where you ought to be.

Ignoring the road map

just choosing perdition

then belly-ache and complain

that you want to be free.

 

Blinded by our longings,

misplaced consolation.

Hungering for what we know

and we can clearly see.

Wanting to be happy t

through constant frustration

without paying the price

as it ought to be.
