Walking the wrong Path

When you have traveled the wrong way

Now looking for the path to return

Once, the path had significance

With time, eroded to loosened gravel

Yearning to touch upon a bygone era

Crumbled and disintegrated with neglect

Drooping desires slow down the pace

Weakened limbs cannot walk for too long

Carrying a heavy burden of the self

Dwindling light makes it impossible to see

The path ahead, towards perdition leads

Once, life offered love and simple feelings

Discarded by the wild desires of the heart

Only memories linger, to torment the soul

Looking back in regret will not rewind life

Awakening too late, only a slumberous retreat©
