THE JOURNEY IS A DISTANCE

THE JOURNEY IS A DISTANCE

The journey is a distance
The distance is a journey
The evolution of the sturdy stance
Is nowhere sweet as honey

The expressway looking so unpaved
The bush path looking so unsafe
Chequered by bumps, fraught with thorns
A Pyrrhic sojourn, it promise to be one

The journey to the promise land is a distance
On the way, played tune to which they dance
They passed through tribulations and difficulties
Just as they passed through villages and municipalities

They rode a white horse-tainted
Together, storms they weathered
Now they drive the white porsche-tinted
Protected from the harsh vagaries of weather

In the course of the distant journey
Acquaintance they met, loved ones they got
In no distant time, they met their life honey
Whose emergence bettered their lot

Thence they continued the tempestuous journey
The journey into a great world of uncertainty
A clarion call they made to the authority
The supreme being, the compere of their journey

The journey is a distance
Heaps of seeds sowed in lines of ridges
The distance is a journey with resonance
Miles though covered in feets and inches
