Without a guide or walking stick
Begin before the bells of twilight peal

The road ahead
Spiral, as a serpent’s bed
A teaspoon of desire for my meal

Am
The road is steep
The air is thin
I hear a voice inside my skin

Feel the sun
Drink the rain
Let your body heal its pain
Bathe beneath a waterfall of light
