I walk the world
My footsteps
Small
But steady

Straying of
The paved path
Into
Uncharted territory

Making wrong turns
And right
Sometimes stopping altogether
To wait

But always
Treading Tirelessly
Towards
“The End”

This is just a short poem I wrote a while back but I rather like it.

Short yes, but with a steady and deep tone (: I rather enjoyed it.
