The road that is paved by your passion
your love, your obsession,
the thing that keeps you awake at night;
everyone pointed in the dark
where this supposed road existed
but nobody offered the light.
Nobody shared a roadmap.
Nobody knew how long was that road,
how hard
and whether it existed at all.
The road was an urban legend,
a fairytale,
mythology.
Everyone thought it existed,
very few were sure
and fewer were those who had dared to walk in the dark.
Down the path that was unknown,
unknowable,
you don’t need a map
or lights,
they insisted.
Your grit will illuminate the road.
Your dream will show you the path
down the dark road of passion,
that is rough, long and uneven
but once you start walking,
you’d never want to stop;
not even when all is lost, dark,
broken.
Your resilience will keep your
weary feet moving
while your soul chases
the light
that is haunting, forbidding, beautiful;
the light,
that is your true bliss.
