That Lonely Path (an excerpt from The Light Bearer)

On a lonely path

None to walk path with

Path narrow and rough

Thorns on ground pierce feet

Cries as audible as a vuvuzela

But none would hear

No one on path

Everywhere as silent as a graveyard.

I tread on a lonely path

Could have digressed

But destiny keeps pushing me on

Path horrible and frightening

But courage within keeps kicking

I am no football to be played

But I roll along path

Defiling and defying the odds.

On that lonely path

Where Spectators mock as you tread

Where you are shrouded by doubts

But wouldn't succumb nor fidget.

Crown at end of path glittering

Desiring to be worn by the pathfinder

Walking on a lonely but new path

Better than treading on the used path

Where mediocrity and complacency reside.

On a lonely path

On a unique mission

On a neglected path

A golden throne awaits.
