A child engages in melodic sleep, As he dreams, songs of innocence play, A whirling mobile illuminates his sky, Yet he begins to grow. A boy runs down a narrow street, As he runs, his knees begin to buckle, A stupendous weight is dropped upon him, Yet he keeps running. An adolescent ponders on a roof, As he thinks, waves of doubt flood his psyche, A disease of self- inhibition begins to corrupt him, Yet he keeps smiling. A man sits in an office cubicle, As he works, thundering determination resides, An ethos of strengthened purpose and resolve, Yet he keeps striving. An elder slumps in a valley, As he lays, antiquated regrets obsess his mind, As he remains ardent but somewhat dissatisfied, There is no where left to go. He has completed his journey

Journey
A child engages in melodic sleep, As he dreams, songs of innocence play, A whirling mobile illuminates his sky, Yet he begins to grow. A boy runs down a narrow street, As he runs, his knees begin to buckle, A stupendous weight is dropped upon him, Yet he keeps running. An adolescent ponders on a roof, As he thinks, waves of doubt flood his psyche, A disease of self- inhibition begins to corrupt him, Yet he keeps smiling. A man sits in an office cubicle, As he works, thundering determination resides, An ethos of strengthened purpose and resolve, Yet he keeps striving. An elder slumps in a valley, As he lays, antiquated regrets obsess his mind, As he remains ardent but somewhat dissatisfied, There is no where left to go. He has completed his journey
