Leaving home searching

for the intricacy of life

institutions of learning

slicing the parts with a knife

Some colleges focused

on the arts

others chose science

comparing the parts

After attending college

there were a few

I embarked on a journey

to discover something new

Up in the mountains

where the air is crisp

I discovered adventure

universes difficult to miss

Down in the valleys

dew on the trees

everything lives in harmony

sparkles on streams to see

Cities and towns

each with a different culture

living together

there were a few vultures

A spiritual university

interwoven in the tapestry of life

opportunities for growth

in the dark and light

My spirit learns more

in the experiences of each day

life is a beautiful journey

as I continue on my way
