Wander

My mind will often wander
to how my life was spent
from birth... from morn to evening,
to how I came and went

Then, for a breath, I wonder
before my time is gone
how much was pre-determined…
how much was mine alone?

Unconsciously I measure
my journeys starts and ends
the steps that I have taken
the distance from my friends.


~Dean Neighbors







vital is my journey
each weary measure ends
with steps I might have taken
and distance from my friends.


Unconsciously I measure
my journeys starts and ends
with steps that I have taken
and distance from my friends.



Relentlessly I journey
as It weighs upon my mind
that my wisdom is before me
while my youth is left behind.
