Journey Within

Through the labyrinth of my mind, we’ll tread,

A path where thoughts and feelings intertwine,

A journey deep where inner worlds are spread,

A landscape formed of memories enshrined.

As footsteps echo through this sacred space,

Emotions bloom like flowers in the spring,

The fragrant blossoms of both joy and grace,

And shadows where past sorrows still cling.

Amid the valleys of my soul, we roam,

Through meadows painted in the hues of youth,

Where laughter dances and the heart finds home,

In landscapes brimming with the purest truth.

But there are caverns cloaked in darker shades,

Where storms have raged and tears have left their stain,

In these abysses where the heart cascades,

We face the fears that cause both ache and pain.

Yet onward, we press through landscapes of gray,

For healing lies where deeper sorrows flow,

And through the darkest night, a guiding ray,

The spark of hope, a promise to bestow.

This journey within, both winding and vast,

Reveals the tapestry of life’s design,

A testament to resilience at last,

And to the strength of this heart’s grand design.

So, travel with me through the depths and heights,

Where landscapes shift with every thought and prayer,

A journey within, where day meets the night,

The map of my soul, an open book to share.
