The Way
Alone I walk in eerie splendor
Down the path from years so tender
Delighted at last to follow a path from ages past
Following years of youth and plunder
Somewhere along the way changes came wrapped in windy gales,
of promises made , deceptions refrained
Macabre ways put aside while wicked winds died
In favor of newly wedded ties
Strains of ancestors and race , poetry and grace
Relate all things involved in modern ways
As truth fades from his grasp man dares try all
Where nothing is sacred ,no mystery left to bare
One way defines them all
In silence everything is heard , and from nothing comes all
Walk in silence along the way,
And from the place of nothing will come all
