The Journey

Imagine walking a straight earthen forest path the Silence is deep, beautiful and complete the senses overwhelmed , The sun cuts thru the canopy of deep green vegetation ,dripping moisture and life At Peace with no strife strolling along this wooded path Up ahead a misty veil obscures the view cooling ,refreshing ,soothing as one passes thru Long forgotten memories begin to drift by, images of childhood come alive Stop and live your experiences, relive your life At the end the present is clear, from oldest to new, it sweeps by The memories complete , another veil comes slowly to you A curtain separating worlds dividing you Here the beast within stalks the consciousness of the mind Released upon command , lurking just below the surface of modern man the strength and savagery of the wild and untamed Beware the savage beast as u leave him behind To cross the next veil of vapor and health Feel your perfect physical self Strong , in tune, healed, able to mend recover from fatigue , your body at its best feel its perfection , test its strength Another step another world This long straight earthen pathway leads to life Up ahead a pure white light , enter and be healed from sickness , disease and strife Further on the tunnel of pure white light , the stairs leading up to your final night guarded to make sure your decision is right off to your right leading down another set if u like to go further out take the first step leading down
