I saw oceans stretch to touch the sky,
Seas that whispered ancient lullabies,
Rivers that danced to nature’s tune,
Lakes reflecting a silver moon.
I felt happiness bloom like spring,
Joy that made my spirit sing,
Peace as soft as morning dew,
A stillness deep, profound, and true.
I felt pain carve lines within,
Cried tears for what had been,
Sadness heavy as a storm,
Cold and fierce, without a form.
My last trip, a journey vast,
I met people whose shadows cast,
I met souls both pure and bright,
I met devils cloaked in light.
I met the mean who wore kind smiles,
I walked with them for miles and miles,
I saw truth behind the guise,
I saw love in broken eyes.
My last trip, I lived it all,
I soared high, I felt the fall,
I touched the sun, I kissed the rain,
I danced with joy, I wept with pain.
I tasted life, bitter and sweet,
I walked on fire, felt cold defeat,
I learned to rise, learned to let go,
Learned that endings help us grow.
And now, as dusk begins to creep,
I close my eyes, embrace the deep,
For all I’ve seen, and all I’ve known,
I do not wish to journey home.
My last trip—I’ve lived, I’ve died,
In every breath, in every stride,
I found myself, I lost my way,
And in the end, I’m here to stay.
