Echoing steps down a road so dark.
Wondering where my life went,
Wondering if I can catch up.
Ancient structures stand around me, Seeming to watch like judges.
Deciding wheither or not if I will fail.
In my travels I come across an old man,
H9is hands seeming to try to charm flames from an old can.
His clothes are dark.
And torn.
I walked up to him and placed my hands near the fire,
Staring up at him curiously.
I asked, "What's the secret to life?"
He looked up at me with haunted eyes,
Saying, "Life can be cruel and harsh but is a chess game no less."
"But only to those on the winning side."
"Survival."
He said.
"When your side the the board dwindles in pawns."
I asked him if it was worth it, and he smiled.
"No sunrise is the same."
He said.
"Don't sleep in, wake up and watch."
The old man's eyes sparkes as he said it was worth the loss of sleep.
Or time.
I asked him what he meant and he patted my head,
Saying...
"Don't blink."
"That's all it takes to miss something beautiful."
"Don't turn around."
"What's important is not where you've been so much, but where you are going."
"Walk, don't run."
"Pay attention and learn."
The old man smiled and said,
"You do learn something new everyday, that is no lie..."
I stared up into his face,
Seeing a Father there,
Not a poor homeless man.
"Don't glance."
He told me.
"Study..."
"Some people look rich, but are poor at heart."
"Some people look like no bodies, but have worth."
"That.."
God said.
"Is the secret to life."
