Path to adulthood

The golden light shines bright

But does not reach the abyss of my being

Yet.

An Oracle showed me the way;

But it is I,

who must now choose the path I take.

Leaving the insouciance of my place of birth

For the big, beautiful and scary world.

 

The path is, however, not the end,

What matters most is how the traveller crosses it;

Living for love, wisdom and knowledge,

On a path of tears, joy, and pain;

Is preferable to living for fake happiness

On a path of lies, deceit and sorrows.

 

The forest is waking up

On the dawn of a new day;

One where I will blossom like the Amaryllis

Until dusk catches up

And fate leaves me forsaken.

 

But before the slow marching of time

And its eternal sleep

Get to me,

I will make sure to fully live my life,

For one must die to live eternally.

 

From the dawn of adulthood

To the dusk of my life

I will make sure to get remembered

And to make you mine.

For I believe we share a fate,

A mind,

And a love.
