wandering paths

I ('ve) travelled long

since I left home,

walked alleys, streets and fields,

walked on a line,

a hidden path,

that noone ever saw,

a secret dreamworld

in my head

that noone could consume ...

so I walked on

for years and months

and never saw a living soul

exept the birds and beasts,

I smiled and taked to them

told them my little story,

I tamed them

and made friends with them

until they told their secrets ...

___________

that I lifed in the woods and fields

and talked to  beast and bird,

that I had wandered long alone

without a human friend

...

- and wondered

when I saw the light,

a candle in the dark,

I was afraid

and did not trust

to show me to\in the light ...

so I stood still

and watched,

came back then every night,

until the light

in some dark night

went out,

did not return ..

my life was dark,

my life was sad,

was never darker then,

when I was wandering off

alone

astonished and confused,

did then not know

where else to go,

not wanted to return.
