A NARROW PATH

I walk down this road, patient, waiting
listening to the silence
making sense of it too
walking straight ahead, feeling calm, peaceful
taking step by step, walking down the shadow path
accepting the cold wind and the sun's wrath
'til I come to a path, narrow, indefinite
slowly breathing the air, taking in the peaceful medicine
preparing me for the next
what comes ahead of me?
will I ever know?
shall I seek the future, leaving the rusty road behind

the road where the floor creaks
the little bridge I've passed
the cheerful colours and little friends behind the closet wall
a park of heavenly clouds
and horses to ride
the swings, the slides, the staircase
now rust with my footprints
now printed in brown

the sweetness, will all they be at risk?
I stand before the narrow path
taking it all in
now, and far beyond I shall not see
blinded in the dark
but couragely, one must take step
and walk through it all
originally by,
