Voyage
Each day, do you set out once more
on a voyage of discovery—
following a horizon you’ve been told
bends to itself with wonders in between?
Or do you trace a well-worn path,
fitting your feet to yesterday’s footsteps—
unfolding that map of yourself
that ventures deeper with each step?
How old are you now?
Old enough to know
both courses can take you
in the same direction?
The prompt word today was “discover.”

I love your thinking and images on this one, Judy! “…a horizon you’ve been told bends to itself…” Wonderful.

This is beautiful. ❤ Not that I don't enjoy your rhymes, but somehow when it doesn't, it sounds more serious, or is it poignant.

I think both things you say are true. The rhymes are usually humorous or lighter topics.
