A Journey Poem by THABO MATSHWISA

It all starts with that journey.
You never know what to expect.
Yet, you have expectations.

You create a space.
That space in your mind.
That is full of questions.
Inneed of answers.

You be counting every minute
before you leave.
And hours left before you arrive.

As your imagination.
Reaches it's destination.
That's when you understand.
You've been impregnating.
Yourself with thoughts.
Of all sorts.

You realize when you open your eyes.
What you expected.
Was never there and never true.

A dream is like a journey.
It can leave you sad or happy.
There was no need.
To strip your thoughts.
Because you just had a safe trip.
