Never left here but returned*

 

Never left here but returned*

 

It just happened to be one day

Something needed to be seen to be on its way

From its innocence to be so pure

It knew the direction life would take it so sure

 

So innocence was dropped, not be seen again

But one day this sage would learn right to begin

It embarked on a journey with pitfalls ahead

Gone now was dependency, facing trials instead

 

This one took a look in front of what was to be

Obstacles a plenty to make one to be free

Now there is a teacher in this while one is growing

But it is behind the scenes, not to be showing

 

A mountain that is there, needed to climb

It is not to get the summit, that will be fine

No the journey continues back as to get back down

And place one's foot solidly, back on solid ground

 

So in essence the journey is not over when reaches the top

It is actually in returning to be aligned right on the spot

Then one will know that it was well worth it in striving to be there

And to come back as one made it home to be here
