I will walk the path forever walked One steap ahead of you…
““I will walk the path forever walked One steap ahead of you And one step behind I will choke in the dust of your passing And skirl more into your face It all tastes the same Even when you feign otherwise But here on the path forever walked The old will lie itself anew We can sigh like kings Like empresses on gift-carts Resplendent in imagined worth. I will walk the path forever walked Though my time is short As if the stars belong Cupped here in my hands Showering out these pleasures That so sparkle in the sun When down they drift settling flat To make this path forever walked Behind you behind me Between the step past, the step to come Look up look up once Before I am gone””
