Lifes Journey!

A man walks many roads upon
lifes journey,
Some are cast with doubt, even
rocky underfoot,
The dust he gathers, only proves
his journey long,
His mind at times befuddled by
all twists and turns,
Still he journeys on searching
for his goal,
At each fork, he must decide which
to tread,
Some in hope, some in fear, others
sometimes in dread,
Each resting place, his broken
sleep disturbed
Animated night-mares arise to haunt
his dreams,
That which lies ahead unknown, until
his journeys end.
