The Blood & The Bones

•

They think that I am unaware

That I don’t know that

I am lost..

I do.

And yet I also know the way. I have always known the way.

But right now, I am in the darkest piece of the path, dodging knotted roots and fallen limbs in the depths of a desolate forest. These are not the woods I want but I must get through them to get to where I’m going. To the woods that I want.

I have strayed some

My attention has been called away so many times and often I will think maybe changing course is for the best. But it never is.

And too many times I have fallen

But, I always get back up even if it means only crawling..

It was only now that I realized I must go through to get to my end

But please believe that I am doing the best that I can

And that I never give up fighting

And that I never give up hope.

I promise that I am still following the moon and the sound of the water to get to you..

To get home.

And all I ask is, if you can..

Please, if you can..

Wait for me there.

I am so very weary of traveling alone

the blood
& the bones
