there is a road on the ocean and it goes on further than I can see a thin strip of pale wood that cuts the waters in half
i stand upon this endless road in the middle of an endless ocean
from the moment i saw it's beginnings stretching out from the sandy shore i stepped upon its pale worn planks - there was no hesitation.
i watched the land grow smaller and stood surrounded by the great grey blue;
blue above and blue below and a handful of blinking stars.
overhead and under the cloudy waves shifted; a gentle kiss of foam upon my ankles.
i sit upon the path of no end and i will wonder;
i've walked miles upon this road but i can't go up or under.
who is to say that there is an end or a purpose in its presence? how much longer will my legs carry me- will I ever find my answer?
my heart sinks into a sea of stars my mind is lost in the clouds, but my feet, my feet will always tread on this wooden road built of the earth.
there is a road on the surface of the ocean and that's as far as i can go.
you set out on a path, excited to see where you will go. you're so sure that this is the road you're meant to follow, and that as long as you walk it's path you'll find your desired end. and yet eventually, along the way you realise that there's so much more than mindlessly chasing the promise of a dream.
but you've travelled so far, is it worth it to turn back?
