I walk
I walk away from the home that I know
Away from the souls
Loves and teachers that taught me how I should live
I walk alone
So I can understand where I'm suppose to go
Who I'm supposed to be
I walk in the forest
To find nothing but peace
Death, quiet, and the words of Emerson in my mind
Walking through this tree, I see God's beautiful landscapes
Satan's wicked serpents
Whitman's refection in the waters
But no aphrodite
No past loves
Just me and nature
I find nothing here
I walk a path
A path that leads me to a dead, dry, surface
That has no sound to be heard
No car in view
No creature in sight
Not a song to be heard
Nothing but peace
I walk in the sands
Trying to find my word
There are no words to be found
I try to find a minute
But a moment could not be found
I realize that I've walked away from a world
That I knew
And from a world I didn't know
I'm lost
Lost from this world
From my soul
My mind
And from my loves
I continue my path
Walking to the unknown
Hearing sounds that make me question this strange place
Should I turn back?
Run home?
Continue to a destination that is unknown?
I walk
Deeper and deeper into the emptiness of the desert
Finding bits and pieces of a new world
A new mind
Soul
And the night
I found a new world for me
A world that allows me to start anew
Make peace with my past
The desert was faith
God leading me to a new hope
A new beginning
I'm no longer lost
