The Lone Walk

Softly, do not disturb all the birds
They do not care much for your words
Lost me
I have done all that I could
Now waiting will do me no good
I'm off on a walk in the woods

There's no hurry
There's no one to witness or worry
The road that is wooded and dirty
It won't hold these footprints for long
Savor this song after I'm gone

Lonely
Nobody knows I am here
I'm ready to go disappear
Only taking the long winding trail
Is something that I will not fail
The woods will remember my tale

And oh how the wind blows the clouds into place
And the waters will flow underway
As the leaves underfoot do decay
So too will the memories of
The "me" who once was that fade away…

Let go
It will not hurt when you know

There's no hurry
There's no one to witness or worry
The road that is wooded and dirty
It won't hold these footprints for long
Savor this song

But I'm sorry
To those who discover my body
It might be alarming, but are we
Allowed to believe in repose?
That, I suppose, you'll never know…
