Here I go.......

Here I go,

mapping the path of life,

taking the roads not taken,

not because they are brave,

but because they are mine.

On this journey I met—

the beautiful mountains,

quiet, steady, watching me walk.

The fresh air sang for me,

even when I had nothing to say.

The flower valley danced along,

unaware of my worries,

and I followed.

Exploring every inch of adventure,

doing things this time

not to impress anyone,

not to prove anything,

but for my own soul,

to be a better person

for myself.

Happy I was—

More than happy,

I was at peace.

Peace of being with myself.

A sense of contentment

where if anything happens,

it’s okay.

I can endure it.

I can move with it.

I can go with the flow,

just like the nature around me—

soft, patient, unbothered.

My problems felt smaller.

The world felt vast.

Travellers I met along the way—

they passed by,

but the memories stay.
