Life


I had been running
Running on this path
Knew it to be small and rugged
However, I wanted to go on this path.
So I was running
             running
             running on this path and I saw an opening
And I was glad
Relieved
I believed
Believed there would be joy
For me
There
So I was running
             running
             running on this path
And in the distance
I could see
Light
Excited
I kept running
             running
             running on this path
And when I arrived
There were stairs
