the quest

It's been a long time and a long journey,
a flight through many dark clouds and over many rough seas,
through clear blue skies and over brown and green islands.
One that took us right by the sun as it rose and set,
and through night skies, some bright and clear; some lonely, dark and wet.
We've seen many sides and faces of the same person,
accepted and rejected many different forms of interaction,
come to know much more about ourselves and each other.
We've done all this and so much more and yet
there's still so much more to learn, so much more room to grow,
so many more challenges to face, so much more we need to know
about ourselves and this adventure called life and love.
