Path, a poem of guiding
from the mind of Adaephon

Light a candle
I'll show the way
Down this o'ergrown path
To a brighter day

Come with me
Look around, my friend
The goal's the journey
Not always the end.

On this road
I am merely a guide
When we reach the end,
I vanish off the side.

This path, my friend
Leads to something dear.
Before we reach the end
You will meet someone here.

I forever walk this road
As the trees call my name
I bear this forlorn load
Yet ever walk the same.

This path, this wending trail
This tale of life and love
Carried on the tail
Of the soul in flight above

Do not fear the night
I can guide you through
I am led from out of sight
Though this is nothing new.

For me, the path ends here
I know not what awaits.
For you may see something dear
But I see only locked gates.

Travel on, my friend
Over hill and dale
And when you reach the end
Cherish your lifelong tale.
