Odyssey

I lead my life
As best as I can
To a direction unknown
To a tale untold
Where -I hope- awaits my role in life

I take the path
That looks the part
Feels about right
Can take me to my passions
And drop me on their path

I walk through the night
The dark and cold
Won't tremble in the rain
Won't falter by the cliff
Not even in the darkest night

But where is my guiding light?
My passions lost along the way
Where is my guiding light?
My time to shine?

Somewhere between India and Ithaca

"So, what did you do?"
"I found the west way to India."
"No, actually you didn't."
"Oh right....I keep forgetting that. But hey, finding a continent is a lot more impressive anyway."
"That it is, that it is."
"How about you?"
"Me? Oh, I didn't really do anything but sailed around. The odyssey, you see."
"Ah, that thing. Took your time to get back home, eh?"
"Quite long, yeah."
"Hey, you still got back, didn't you? And all those adventures! That really must have made the journey better than the end."
"Well, I'd rather have reatched the end sooner."
"Ah, I wish I could be on an odyssey someday. All those endless possibilities, not knowing where you end up! You're so lucky."
"I guess...Though I'd like to know where I'm heading already."
