Spent....
I am so utterly tired. I still keep walking. One step another, with no destination the walk stretches forever. Overwhelmed. So tired. Want to quit. Keep moving forward despite it. A breath of fresh air comes to me and I smile. It's nice to be wanted and loved. It makes the road easier. Still, an eternity stretches before me. Step, step... fresh air continues to reach me, but is soon forgotten. I'm lost. I forget why I walk. A shadow pushes against me. I forget I. The struggle, a few steps back a few forward, this dance all is all that is known. It becomes me. Then the fresh air, struggle forgotten. Eyes begin to see again, feet my own I walk again. A light appears in front of me on the horizon. It casts the shadow behind. It pulls at every step, but the feet rise and fall moving forward. With every rise of my foot the shadow releases its hold. With every moment before the next step it holds on again. I may not know who I am, but I walk now with confidence to the light.
