Road Into Darkness

A traveler walking along a dark and empty road
Where are you going, what do you seek?
Across vast and empty plains with winding rivers
Pure water carried from distant mountain peaks

Countless souls over the flatlands
Ages all throughout eternity
Yesterday, today, tomorrow
The path stretches eternally

Wandering, wandering into empty space
Tunnels and tracks in time - a race
A wash of rain spreading over the ground
The wind chimes in to the melodious sound

Scouring sand to cleanse the spirit
And solid rock on which to stand
A chorus of echoes for all to hear it
Ghosts of the forgotten land

Skies of dusk through dusty air
Sun and moon meeting in sweet eclipse
Cascading water like silver hair
Light streaking through clouds of golden mist

Extended swords of glinting silver
Marble floors of gypsum white
A curtain of aurora ribbons shiver
Over branches where raven shadows alight.

Darkness approaching in billowing cloak
A plateau overlooking galactic terrain
Thoughts and words blown away like smoke
The silence of a forgotten name
