Ten thousand steps
From the night imagined
That lays, forever kept,
In this eternal dungeon.
Where memories are held
And hope stands guard
To keep regret concealed
From the burdening bard.

Ten thousand steps
From the turbulent winds
That swirl and set
Upon the torchered skin
Bringing the resolution
To the patient knight
That his dreamt premonitions
Will soon come to sight.

Ten thousand steps
From the seas of cognition
Where the water’s depth
Foreshadows the fog’s mission
And the birds they flock
Without tangling fear
Releasing the boyant clock
To the tide of years.

Ten Thousand Steps
From the immortal sensation
That burns beneath the flesh
Unleashing all sacred temptation
A feeling so intense
Drawing every surreal emotion
Freeing the mind’s sense
To a neoteric motion...
