Sometimes there is a winding road
That seems to lead nowhere
And the soul whispers, “Go on…
Don’t stop now…”
Taking a deep breath
You take the next step and the next
Clinging desperately to faith
As you venture farther out
And you slowly begin to realize
Just how infinite your spirit is
You begin to see that
You will never reach the end
Of your essence…
You go on and on
An impermanent breath
Of eternity.
