Be

Disasters mark my path

Diversions aim to divert me

I may slip. A lot

Too often may I sit and lay

But never am I lost  

As the cycles change

Mine won't

But ever do I progress

Into darkness and derange 

 

Everything stands for something 

Never stray from the path 

Stay on the path

The morning comes after the night 

However long that may last

Night can be a broad term 

For some it is everlasting

For others it is a celestial cycle

Still I must progress 

Beyond the crash 

 

Beyond the plains and the mountains and the sky above

Do I find myself in a quarrel with a bug

Not a nat nor a cricket nor an otter

My father 

 

And when I see her

Whoever she may be 

That is all I can take 

 

However much I make

Is never going to be enough 

 

A collection of thoughts

All reduced to rubble 

For the journey to resume 

Nothing must remain

All thoughts that were once thought to abstain

Will have to be gone

Or I will be gone

 

All you know about life

Is correct

For everyone to live 

A different path must be carved 

The quality of the wood to be decided 

And the tree must die

Or live till one thousand 

 

The tree will die

You will not

Living on as office supplies or the structure of a building 

Your place will be found 

I am a branch that lays unfound

A leaflet of paper yet to be bound

 

One day I will find my use

At the end of the path

But until then, the path meets no end

And the trek remains
