journey

Walking down the road, the mysterious path,

All alone, down the path I thread 

Walk with pace but the face keeps lengthen 

I look back only to see that I haven’t walked fast 

friends

Ain’t my walk parallel to a snail 

I wish for the time to go in a blink,

My journey swapping fast like a lightening speed in the sky

So I’ll get to my destination.

But the further I walk the longer the journey seems to get.

I’m weary, I’m exhausted, I’m tired.

My legs seem huge to life and so I drag them on behind me.

Down the lonely alley I walk.

Then out of the sides came two mysterious strangers 

They walked beside me, they learnt my walking style and I learnt there’s 

We began chitting and chatting, drugging alone charters of laughter 

Soon a stroll turned to a walk, a walk to a jog, a jog into a race.

My journey of a thousand miles seemed to go on like a million thousand miles,

Because I was alone 

But when my friends came alone, my companies, my fellow travelers,

Co-devils, partners in crime joined in my journey 

Simplifying, easing and reducing the path.

A journey that seems very long alone

Will be like the wave of a wishing star in the sky

With your friends on the journey with you.
