from where we are
the middle
of the beginning
to
the end of the beginning
there is a single line.
One path to lead us there.
But there
isn’t our goal
our destination. We
bound for journey’s great
push beyond the edge
beyond the mark, We are bound
for what lies beyond.
Beyond the edge
of the middle
of the beginning
we are bound
forever to the edge.

Deep poetry about a journey!
I have struggled with that question in the past.
It is a hard won lesson for me. I wish i had been able to move past sooner.
It was hard for me too, and the answer for me is not about staying in place or moving faster but the reason behind it all.
sometimes the journey is the reward. Sometimes the reward is surviving the journey!
Perfect! I agree with that!
Sometimes we can not move forward until we learn a lesson.
The power of a lesson, thanks Pam, that is the struggle!
There are times when I’am driving and feel that way, or God forbid something happens in life that sets me back.
Life brings us so many interesting things. Sometimes the bad is overwhelming. Sometimes the good lifts us high!
During my college semester, I always feel that so many things are trying to hold me back. Mostly the outer campus stuff adding the excess stress.
College is an interesting thing. I still use some of the things I learned, but I use much more of the things I learned after college.
Wonderful song. Sometimes I feel like standing in place, I can not move forward
at times that feels like the eternal struggle…
It often happens to me that I still feel that I am on the go, even though I have been retired for 2 years
I do wonder about that sometimes, that we struggle to arrive at retirement only to keep moving.
I used to get used to it soon … it really is that I still think sometimes and I still do not believe that I am really retired … without worry and any responsibility …
I sometimes feel that I’m going forward but I’m not progressing. As if someone pulls me back or I’m staying in the same place where I’m going.
Thank you, you captured the essence of the struggle. Not able to move towards the goal!
Often times I feel I am staying still. Other times I am moving forward. A balance I continue to work on. Enjoyed your poem.
you are in the same boat as I, thanks for the compliment. I struggle with the balance of moving and standing still.
