to where the road leads // a poem

edited by Jonah Masson

I come to the road away from my zone

and ahead it continues to extend.

As I drag my wounded body on,

wondering if the road would ever end.

What would I encounter along the track

when no long my loves accompany me?

One by one they all turn their way back,

leave without a bye I thought they were we.

Foggy road and darkness without a light.

When will the sun come out and shine my way?

May my hope never die and be bright.

I gaze up and muse what would be away.

Life, success, dream, failure, or death that ease?

But I will go on to where the road leads.
