WAYLAID

Waylaid

By PoetsPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Waylaid, a journey interrupted,

A path diverted, dreams corrupted.

An unexpected detour, a road less traveled,

A challenge to overcome, a test unraveled.

A waylaid journey can bring frustration,

A feeling of being stuck, in a state of stagnation.

But in this adversity, a lesson to be found,

A chance to grow, a new path to be found.

Waylaid is not the end, but a new start,

A chance to reframe, to heal the heart.

To find a new direction, a new way to roam,

And reach the destination, a place to call home.

So when you're waylaid, don't despair,

Embrace the challenge, it's a chance to repair.

A journey of growth, a journey of might,

And in the end, it will lead to light.
