Narrow Road

dry,
shattered bones and dreams,
life at the seems
unraveling.
cracked ground,
the desert sun glaring hard
upon the one who chose
a separate path.
as the day is played upon
these strings,
the music suddenly
turns the heart,
spirit clawing
at the inward parts
as dry tears find
their way through bitter screams,
all seems to lose it's purpose,
it's value
as the puzzles never fit,
riddles never solved,
life failing to answer
the whys
and hows.
this isn't an easy
path to take.
to live at ease on the
narrow road
it's a foolish thought.
a traveler pressing to
some unknown mountain,
only to just die in the
End.
but the Wind reminds
the Mind,
it's going to be worth it.
