“…a strange road and we’re learning…”…”Wonder,” my poem

no victory, but only ending…

 

 

Wonder

 

We’re on a strange road,

there is no straight ahead

   on this strange road,

there are turnings

   we have never seen,

we’re not in a race

   but there is a finish line,

we’re doing it together,

one leg each in the sack,

no turning back,

no victory

   but only ending,

this is a way

   we’ve always imagined

      but never known,

this is a strange road

   and we’re learning

      as we go along,

we take new steps

   and wonder as we wander along…
