Light By The End of The Road
By Franz Carmen
The lonesome boy who has long wandered
Strewn in the rocks are his mistakes
Nothing to be seen, only darkness
In a foggy, thorny path he takes
Numb from the journey he has traveled
Thinking no longer go on,
The shadows beckon to go astray
And told him better to be gone
It soon pulls him towards the side
Beckons him to stop and fall
The weights that he had long carried
Stand on his back so tall
The boy pauses to come to the heed
But a soft, kind breeze touches his shoulder
He raises up his head with tears
The voice so warm tells him to come over
It pushes him ever so gently away from the side
It whispers calm words in his ear
"Continue on this path, there is so much more
That your end is not near."
The boy lets go of the burden of his weights
Ignores the shadows' shouting, beckoning
He starts with one foot then another
Till' he starts to break into a running
The wind that continues to push him forward
Even when the shadows push him back
He continues on running, never to a stop
Long far away are his weights in a stack
Finally he come into a stop to take a breath
And sees something tiny ahead
He walks toward till' the thing grows
He remembers what the voice had said
The thing glows bright that isn't blinding
But something that gives hope and light
So majestic, so warm, so kind
It gives him a new sight
Beyond he sees the lone survivors
That has once walked the same trail
The voice that once called to him said,
"Now is just the beginning of your tale."
AN: It was inspired by a very good friend of mine. :)
