I walk the paths,
They stretch farther and farther,
I walk and I follow,
There is no end.
I walk on foot,
I walk barefoot,
Tiny and large stones,
Thorns of solitude grow in the earth,
They caress me in their own way,
They comfort me,
I walk and I walk,
Yet, I find no end.
The road is a mirage,
Cold and dark,
The crickets cheer me on,
Go on, keep going, don’t stop.
There’s no strength left in my soul,
I grow tired,
I sleep in the embrace of stones and thorns,
I pull the blanket of rocks and pebbles over me,
And I stay there forever.
My path ends here,
For I know that continuing this path will bring nothing but pain and suffering.
About the Creator

Dedicated to the one whose fiercest foe and truest friend is herself
she who bears the soul’s weariness yet walks life’s rugged path,
hoping for cherry blossoms, flying geese, or stork nests.
