The Greatest Journey

For a moment lost in translation,

The heart goes into depression

As meaningless words struggle to make an impression.

The words that fall into empty spaces

Between you and I

Are as empty as my courage and your lies.

If they will ever reach their destination.

But I know it in my heart

That the journey is more important than the end or the start.

And so they wash off the stain

And embark again

On the greatest journey, mankind has ever taken
