Traverse The Path Of Thorns

Footsteps fall on this radiant path in the nightfall
And the hours turn to days hastily
The whispering wind evokes the name of an intimate
But the next moment fades into the distance

The horizon beckons with its elegant splendor
So I travel to the water as if I’m in a dream
The sun turns black in an eclipse as I arrive
And beauty turns to darkness beneath an empty sky

As I walk this path of thorns I do so with open arms
I embrace the end, for aeons must rescind
Wondrous departure from this existence
Soon my eyes will open, consuming light from the other side
