if life is a journey

I was looking for a poem to share one day on Instagram. But without any inspiration, I looked through my notes and found this. I don’t think that I’ve shared it before. I don’t feel that I have. Anyway, I wrote this on a plane – according to the notes. Too many hours in the air this time, I have written.

I think I was writing to an imaginary someone.
An imaginary friend. Do we all have these?
A friendship or a connection to aspire to …

So, this is for My Imaginary Friend (whoever you are!!)

.

If life is a Journey
Of Moments and Memories
I want to Travel with you

On a Road both
Straight and Winding
Sometimes leading Astray

If life is a Journey
Of Daydreams and Sunshine
I want to Dream with you

Daytimes and Nights
Shining and Sparkling
Beneath Sun, Moon and Stars

If life is a Journey
Of Chance and Daring
I want to Risk all with you

Travelling Far and Wide
Leaving Everything behind
Finding our way Together



A final thought or two. As children, we might have an imaginary friend. Someone who is always there when we need them. Someone who never lets us down. Maybe, as adults, we need an imaginary friend, too. Maybe, as adults, we need one even more.
