I feel alone today
absolutely without a Soul
to call my own.
Maybe it's the weather
the first downpour of the season.

Life is with no forecast
of either good or bad.
My search for new horizons
has conquered troublesome peaks
in ignorance of what lies ahead.

If then,
life's rocky terrain
reveals a plain 
of paradise
should I not desire
to stay, regardless 
of shadow or rain
and seek my goal ?
