I broke away from the crowd

To tread my paths alone,

To walk with steady steps

Towards that unknown goal I was seeking.

There was a fire in my head,

An all consuming fire,

That raged on and on

And would rage,on and on

Till I reached there, where I was going.

My legs took me places,

I walked on and on,on and on...

Till the end of the world..

I still wasn't happy,

For I hadn't found that

What I'd come for.

I walked into a meadow

Filled with yellow flowers

Which bloomed at my touch

And gave out a radiance

That surpassed all else.

They led me to a stream

Whose water bubbled a song,

That calmed my soul.

I peered into the water

To see myself staring back at me...

And all was well in the world again...

I resumed my walk

With a calm mind,

For I'd found

What I'd been seeking for long;

I'd found myself.....
