a backpack full of smokey dreams
heavier as I choose the ones
that lead me to my destiny
choices always popping up
questions grow along my way
pondering, what do I do?
sometimes causing me delay
lessons learned from heartbreak
a student journeys forth
the road now smooth and signed
but different down each fork
changes in the weather
often drenched by rain
the sun comes out eventually
to dry me out again
this time, slowly, up I hike
to the hightest peak
on this trail, the here and now
that grants me what I seek
