on a path with no beginning or end,
i walk the winding road.
my scenery unrecognizable,
beyond a black bird who crowed.

his call was loud and distinct and plain,
giving a sound that filled me with fear,
however, despite my inner turmoil,
i lent the bird my ear.

what the bird said that day
gave me a feeling so new,
that i began sprinting down the path
'til the end was in my rear view
