Ariwara No Narihara
That It Is A Road
That it is a road
Which some day we all travel
I had heard before,
Yet I never expected
To take it so soon myself.
[from: ANTHOLOGY OF JAPANESE LITERATURE]

Theme by Anders Noren adapted for M.etropolis by RavanH — Up ↑
a long road never turns
supermarket belt
straight,
quick,
final.
ka-jing
I think we all take the winding road
from our first step…
Some get to walk a little further,
but still only an instant
in the magnatude of time
Truer words were never spoken!!! Didn’t time fly while we were having fun twisting and turning in our salad days?
the road silences your fears
alone you drag on
feet hurt eyes roam
how inquisitive the light
