The End of a Long Journey (A Poem)

The season's chill cometh
Long winter thriving
The warmth of the hearth
he seeks to fight off
the cold world

Walking through a blizzard
guided by a dim light
Though unknown where
the light will take him,
it's only light in his heart.

Falling countless times
sleep beckon him to come
and many times he almost
succumb but the light
kept him awake

Before long his feet stopped
his destination reached
Heart gladdened and delighted,
he cried and laughed
for a home was found

“I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be.” Douglas Adams
