Forgotten Path

Long I’ve wandered this forgotten path
And on this journey, I’ve found nothing
Still I continue,
Shedding this withered skin
But through this process, I’ve gained nothing
Bleak gaze turned inwards, peering through what’s left within
Though of myself, I’ve learned nothing
Like fading embers,
Life force begins to dim
And though you suffer, I feel nothing
I approach the temple of emptiness
To find my name carved in stone
I cross the threshold of mortality,
The path behind me now fades…
