Walking Alone: A year of solitude

Walking alone
I hear them talk
Words said and heard

Walking alone
Is this the pain?
I know not what’s ahead

Walking alone
It’s a beautiful world
But where does it lead?

Walking alone
Friends and family call
To give strength to my step

Walking alone
Coz they don walk
Not with me

Walking alone
Hopes of the dreamt
Ethiopia lead me on?

Walking alone
The little dear
Knows courage and fear?

Walking alone
The forest’s beautiful
With dark secrets held?

Walking alone
With creepy little things
It is just my thoughts?

Walking alone
Awaiting a golden dawn
Dawn does exist?

Walking alone
Hope’s all there is
Ethiopia has nights too?

Walking alone
Through dark nights
Darker still ahead?

Walking alone
Keep it going on
Things may just get better?

Walking alone?
Not when I can feel it
Feel that eternal presence

Walking alone?
When I sense
That firm hand hold mine

Walking alone?
When the golden light
Leads me on

Walking alone?
Along a dark path?
But I can see the light
Yes, a light
Faint but strong
I can feel the hand
A secure firm grip
Telling me, I am never alone
I can see it and feel it
Yes, I can
