The Road

He went along the road  ,
 
not bearing in mind where to it might lead   ,
 
of the horizon taking absolutely no heed  .
 
Thus he just walked, tread after tread  ,
 
with no regard for any consequence  ,
 
nor with any dread  .
 

 
The road spread into the woods long and wide
 
its far off end the forest seems to hide  .
 
On he went with no lead or sign in view  ,
 
beginning to think what afterwards he should do  .
 

 
Lo, to the end he has arrived  .
 
But can from that any happiness be derived  ?
 
Was this the end for which he had aspired  ?
 
Is that the end he has always admired  ?
 

 
He now turns his head backwards in regret  ,
 
Where he came from he shall never forget  .
 
But, alas, night falls upon the road  ,
 
upon which until now he quickly trod  .
 
Coming back is an option long gone  .
 
His destiny from now on is sealed and done  .
