Into the Fire
I walk along the trail of shadows
Led by the harbinger of fire
I pursue the embers that dance
Hands of family and friends reach for me
failing to sway me from the path I have chosen
I know not where the path will lead
Nor do I take the time to look ahead
With each step I feel myself falling
further away from the light above
I must carry the weight no man can bear
The suffrage of a choice made long ago
Every day I hope the weight will lessen
But every step adds a pound to the load
One day I know I will collapse
The hands will no longer be reaching
The very flames I seek to follow
will set my body ablaze
Until then....
I walk along the trail of shadows
