1

WALK ALBEIT THE ROAD IS ENDLESS

YOU ARE WORTHLESS IF YOU LOOK ONLY THROUGH DISTANCE

GET TO THE ROAD THROUGH YOUR LIVING HEART

NOT JUST LIVING BODY THAT COULD BE NON HUMAN'S

2

WALK TO LIVING WELL

CIRCLE LIKE A WHEEL AS THE MOON CIRCLES

THERE IS YOR SOUL CIRCLING,FRIEND

AND WHAT CIRCLES COMES FROM CIRCLES

3

I WALKED THROUGH YOUR DESERT OF LOVE

TO FIND UNION WITH YOU

BUT IN EVERY WALK

A FALLEN CORP AND A SKULL

4

TONIGHT THAT I AM COMPETING WITH MOON AND JUPITER

I AM WALKING WITH MY SWEETHEARTS

DRUNKEN WITH GORGEOUS WINE

IT IS ALL I WANTED TONIGHT

*

On the day I die don't weep
Death has nothing to do with going away
The sun sets and the moon sets
But they are not gone
-RUMI
