It was the star-lit night of lovers
When I cast my reflection into time,
And wandered down a lonely path,
Wondering where and when my journey’s end.
The road ahead was dark,
Studded only with the cat’s eyes
That lit my way and kept me from wandering
Into the wilds that surrounded me.
I considered not my direction,
Only knew it was ahead and not behind,
Though I was tempted into looking back
And wondered which turn set my feet away from truth.
The path changed ahead of me
And there was no more light
To guide my step;
I stumbled.
The road was hard and cold
Beneath my bloodied hands,
But I determined not to stop
And began to walk again.
The climb was steep.
It was difficult to continue
But an inner faith
Kept my feet to the path.
It was cold, but I cast off
My earthly bounds and was finally naked,
Shorn of all my defences
Like a newborn babe.
Then I saw the end.
