anyway, here's a poem

Far Beyond

I tread this path alone

None walk beside me

Behind me

Only ahead of me

Far gone, so that I cannot see them anymore

Past the curve I am trying so hard to reach

Yet my efforts prove fruitless

And I am left further behind

They understand what I don’t

They have the knowledge that I seek

But I cannot reach that point

That curve, so far away

No one feels what I do

For they do not walk with me

Or talk with me

They cannot comfort me

I cry alone

On this long, hard road

My lonely tears

Fall unseen into the dust

You do not see as I do

You may have once

But you have forgotten

And now you leave me in the shadows

This path is rocky

And so very long

I have no one to help me

To keep me from falling

I cry out for help

But you cannot hear

You don’t walk with me

You cannot save me

But, when I cry out

In pain, in sorrow

And my tears fall

To soak into the earth

A gentle hand reaches down

And wipes away my tears

That hand lifts me up

And sets me on my feet again

And when I stumble and fall

That hand comes again

To pick me up again

And with it, a strong shoulder to lean on

And when I am so weak

That I cannot go another step

Someone comes to pick me up

And carry me on, to that far off goal

When I look up

I see a face

Full of love, compassion

Strength, and power

Now, I do not walk alone

Though you are still far ahead

I have a companion

A protector

He walks with me

Stays by my side

Comforts me

And gives me confidence

Now, I can stand tall

And walk this path

Though it is still hard

I know I am not alone

I will reach it

That place that seems so far
