Walk

Walk down the path

You see trees, flowers, and small things

Never noticing what's beyond

Never noticing what's before

Walk down the path

It darkens and the living descends upon you.

Tighter your path becomes

Tighter your desires; your ambitions

Walk down the path

You see a light

Further it escapes

Further from liberation

Walk down the path

It loosens slightly, and then tightens again

Dejected you become

Rejected you choose to be

Walk down the path

You hear a sound, a guiding yet difficult voice

Afraid of following, the unknown, the unattractive

Afraid of not going and stumbling

Walk down the path

Still your heart; pick out the voice

Hear the sound; Listen to the words

Trail it; Walk towards it

Walk down the path

Strong heart; believing

Strong mind; discerning

Strong body; walking...

Walk down the path
