New Roads

July 6, 2013
Walking down a new road,  
my eyes; a gyroscope. 
Looking around smiling happily,  
a good day, I hope. 
 
 
Walking down the same road 
relishing all that pass,  
my eyes; a sponge 
I pray that it will last.
 
 
Walking on the same road 
I see a beautiful fawn,  
in silence I gaze upon,  
the game in which she has won. 
 
 
Walking the same road 
slowly I stalk,  
the lighthouse turns,  
my face to chalk. 
 
 
Walking the same road 
at her eyes, I smile,  
to my joy it returns 
making all my time worthwhile. 
 
 
Walking the same road
a new leaf turns,  
the lighthouse turns away,  
still my heart yearns. 
 
 
No longer the same road 
I scream; I yell 
more, I want more 
but only time will tell. 
 
 
No longer the same road 
swifter than wind, 
I pursue after her 
believing it not to be a sin. 
 
 
No longer the same road,  
the lighthouse glares. 
My deeds revealed,  
in my heart does tear. 
 
 
Walking the same road,  
fear no longer in my eyes. 
I say goodbye 
still, all I want to do is lie. 
 
 
I walked that same road 
only joy there was sowed. 
It’s raining at the lighthouse,  
walking on a new road.
