the teachings: dedication, perseverance. OSS!

I paved the way.  

the bread crumbs had legs.

I walked alone, not by myself.

With a shadow, or a doubt.

The nights had sun, the days as long.

I didn't sell my soul nor refused my toll.

I became half whole. Or as much as one.

I revealed my core.

A molten lump. 

Soft diamonds kissed by clean coal.

I picked them all up when I left.

knocked them out with the right.

I did lose my way but there was no way back.

I finally found your needle in my haystack.

It never pricked so bad.

There was a ripple in the water.

My reflection said it wasn't me.

I still wanted to float.

I grabbed my faith in a tiny tsunami.

I saw the surface from the bottom.

I forgot my name, it was never the same.

I paid my debts with all coins of sorrow.

Forgot the tear.

I did not regret the refund.

I found it had value, of no value to me.

It was simple, it was right.

I was cool, I was calm.
