The Way
by Rob Roper  July, 2018

You dared to resist
You blew ’em off with a kiss
You could have stayed in the shade
But your heart would have paid

You left behind a world of grey
You had to see the colors play
It was just a stop along
The Way

You slipped out of the trap
You set a match to your map
It’s the journey that counts
At least, that’s what I found

After much investigation
There are no destinations
Everything’s a stop along
The Way

You made it to
the other side
across the Sea of Hope
But everyone
said, “you’re not done.
Get back into the boat.”

You thought it was the journey’s end
Now you’re on the road again
It was just a stop along
The Way
