I hope your thoughts might find solace
in words that I've told
As your guidance lies silenced
on some old gravel road
While in a basket of epiphanies
hearts and delusions
A better half sits enticed
by the smell of intrusion
So the young are left wandering
led wayward, astray
By a conscience once squandered
by a legend left away
Until love turns to loss
and then loss back to love
On a wall built for striking
with a meaningful shove
Now when the path gets too twisted
keep his will to continue
The road may seem lonely
Still the legend lives in you

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
