The Winding Way

Folder: 
Secular Poetry

Find the circles in the skies

Hold the world inside your head

Lead on, this fair path of Destiny's way-

O ancient runes on marked stone-

Real though far away they seem

Unto only this, the beholder's eye.

A merry soul, a disheartened sigh

Buried deep within your heart

Believe in this, the truth from all;

A winding way between the rows.

Blackness surrounding, breath on frosted glass

Hope for healing, no singing for peace-

Silence is all to be found.

Among the leaves sitting in your hand

Drops of water, rain and blood;

A cry of love, a call of death-

A time to search your inner soul.

Can this, O winding wind-blown way

Be the one dream that starts it all-

On sultry summer nights,

The winding way seems out of reach.

And though the sky be dark and the wind be cold

In this, the still and sullen silence

You'll always find that twisted path-

The path of Destiny's way.

This is such an awesome poem and the fact that it was inspired by a target bag makes it even better, lol.
