A Thousand Journeys of a Single Step

When you need more time to think, or
You think, and then you drink;
When you hit the ‘berg and sink –
Walk on … walk on.

Walk on water, soothing soles;
Walk on waves that break on shoals.
Walk up Golgotha, with blisters and all;
As you carry your Cross, and you suffer a Fall.

Roads to Emmaus, Damascus and Home;
You can fake the centurion, march into Rome.
From a meaningless shuffle, break into a sprint –
Though the sun’s in your eyes, you’ll run fast if you squint.

When depression hurts belief,
When your choices end in grief,
When the rainbow time’s too brief:
Walk on… Walk on.
