the journey is not yet
half complete; the nights are cold
and the days stay brittle to
the touch, enticing detours
appear and offer an easier road;
security and safety in exchange
for the soul
the shiny and glittering in exchange
for the heart
trite platitudes and empty promises in exchange
for the mind
pleasures of all types and rewards in exchange
for the spirit
but the path beckons us to keep moving
forward for the journey is
not just to find peace but
to practice shalom
