Picking up the pieces
Of his shattered heart
He travels alone on the forbidden path
No footprints ahead, none to follow.
Alone he walks in the darkness
Across the field of pain
Slimmest chance of crossing over -
To the other side, hopeful and bright.
He walks and walks for hours,
Aching feet, tired body.
The sun about to rise at the horizon
He knows he is near the place -
He had been searching for, all along.
Optimism radiating out of his steps
The feeble steps gain speed.
Something shines in the distance,
Hope, he thinks.
However, after a while he falls on his knees.
Mirage - that is all it is -
Mirages all along the path.
Making him travel alone -
This journey on the forbidden path
No footprints ahead, none to follow.
