just turned and started walking
on roads, side walks,
cobble stones...
into the sun, away from...
too much
i couldn't turn around if i tried
i wasn't ready
to face another day
turned
to chase
the day that was,
in a hopeless goal to take it back,
make it as it never played
that way...
just turned and the earth
turned under foot,
walking away,
the setting Sun
leading the way...
over stones,
through endless grain,
forests
and dead landscapes...
until the shores of the ocean,
Where i stood,
i fought the waves,
Where i lost
another day,
the poorest choice remained,
to turn around... accept
what was lost,
give up...
face the new days direction,
stay
or start walking
to the empty life that is
crowning
that horizon... what's gone
is done.
New days dawning.
