Pausing…

“A journey of a thousand miles
starts with a single step.1
And in between the first and last
our winding path
diverges on the way.
We’d be a fool to think a pause
was our destination.

Ghost whispers guided us this far,
a Cheshire cat’s smile
illuminated the way,
revealing footprints in the sand;
words and thoughts left by weary travelers.

This path has come to such a point;
which onward trail we choose
is not a reason for goodbye
for all paths will merge again.

Instead, we clasp the friends we’ve made
and bid them each “until ...”
A smile, a wave, perhaps a tear
and the journey continues.

Until our paths converge once more,
“God speed.”
