Alon

e - in the world - he traveled
Via rock steps and forest’s embrace
The wind kissed and then whispered:
Take our amulet and use it only once
…when obstacle comes.

And to a lake - he headed
And stabbed his toes on the lily bridge
The water stood still and said:
Look at me and you will see
A moment of light inside of me
Take it and walked on your way.

Then - into a shallow marsh - he went
Where fierce bulls strolled to find a mate
But before a horn was nailed
He pulled out his amulet - then said:
Sorry bull but I must pass
I will remember you and your marsh
As I travel…

And he knew…
On wind’s kiss
…it was written:
journeys can be smooth
journeys can be tough
just find your way…

…soon it will be dark.
