on the road my feet grow heavy...

by Matto - Scorpio - Not entered

------------------------------------------------

on the road my feet grow heavy, as an autumn dew on grass;
and not without a heavy price, will another measure pass.
so a path now I must seek, before my heart, as well, grows weak;
for a dreamer cannot give up what the learned never has.

down my rocky path I stumble, carved of vacant sea of trees;
and the only place to walk, I'm sure, is there in front of me.
but within just several moments, this path as I have known it,
becomes endless as the passion, of a prayer on bended knees.

should I take to finding shelter, or should the awsome trees I fear:
could I whisper, 'carry onward,' or is evening, haunted, near?
will I never come to realize, there is something more in here beside
the faceless echoed tauntings from the shadows that I hear.

for the night I'll take a slumber in a warmth in my own woods;
I have never felt the comfort of what I never thought I could.
and I will dream, my soul alive, until the morning sun arrives;
then I'll carry on this memory, if my conscience thought I should.

and when the tide returns, I will follow those same tracks;
I will find the hardened road, that such, before I could not hack.
they will ask me where I've been, when I'm with them once again;
but I'll muse, 'I took a wrong turn, and I'm just now getting back.'
