Before the Journey

One should first stand alone
Above the fray of discovery
Void of limitation or expectation

All the while
Knowing the dangers
And pitfalls that lie ahead

There is a plan to build
A path to follow
An end in sight

Shadows and mist
Must not cloud the vision
They are welcomed

After the climb of brambles
The descent onto hot sand
The plateaus of water

There will be peace
There will be creation
There will be resolution

Sometimes the artistic mind knows exactly how things will go. Other times, it’s about gathering information and responding in kind. A little out-of-body experience.
