THE ROAD

This is a simple man

With a simple plan

Feet firmly on the ground

Take a glance 

At the distance he has travelled,

And the distance he will go

On the road 

Is where his story unfolds

Mile by mile,

And at the end of this road

There will be another, maybe winding

Maybe narrow

Overshadowed with trees

Obscured by fallen leaves

Opening up and breaking off

Uphill,

Descent

But he will proceed

His resolution is in this movement

And the trail he leaves behind

Is his statement.
