A Thousand Miles
One has walked
a thousand miles
through noise and silence;
through brawls and kisses;
On the shallow island
a heart beating in beauty
against traditions and conventions,
togetherness becomes precious;
One has walked
a thousand miles
throughout laughter and boredom;
throughout stillness and movement;
A company to share,
adventures away from home
a mountain in a forbidden stream
and cultures out of essence;
One has walked
a thousand miles
throughout nothingness and wholeness;
throughout existence in water and soil.
