I Still Keep Walking

I have wondered on cobbled streets
And followed the shadows of the stones
But there are still many roads
Where I could leave my footprints

Wishful eyes, empty vassels
Carrying them
I still keep walking
Deeper thoughts, shallow palms
Trying them
I still keep walking

I saw stones memorizing the lives
And I saw lives becoming memories by stoning
I admired the beauties of the castles
And I witnessed atrocities in the rocks

Unspoken words, unheard echoes
Feeling them
I still keep listening
Blunt arms, broken arrows
Using them
I still keep fighting

There were truths to be discovered
There were treasures to excavate
There were butterflies of rainbows
And spring from the heavens

Changing air, uncovering land
Touching them
I still keep changing
Lost adventures, unseen love
Believing them
I still keep searching

Wishful eyes, empty vassels
Carrying them
I still keep walking
Deeper thoughts, shallow palms
Trying them
I still keep walking
