The Journey

In the eternal constant exchange of youth for age
We all give up energy in exchange for wisdom
But while it is good to know the best plan
What is the role of power of love or rage
Imagine the utter cost to rule a kingdom
Balancing choices, righteous or damned
Without knowing the emotional wage
Do we lose our way, in a dangerous path
By feeling calm, never seeing the wrath
Do we have nothing to offer when we're young
The journey itself that allows us to overcome?

“It is good to have an end to journey toward;
but it is the journey that matters, in the end.”  Ursula K. Le Guin
