Theme of life

Set out on a long journey; the river has wound and unwound to the signs of days and nights until here at this moment as I look around and see how far I've drifted from everything I knew and touched. A journey I set out with no instruments to guide and none to tell what the weather has in store next. So much time spent in preparing for life when one is already wading through life knee deep and not realising it. The irony of it all; for a future that is never distant but right here as now.
