The Unrequiting Path

Gray Brown

2 min read

As I walked down the eternal path I felt nothing. I just walked and walked and I didn’t know why. I smelled the fresh raindrops, enjoying my surroundings. I walked on and on hoping to find something, that thing could be peace or a person, but why would I want to find people who could possibly ruin the peace?

Spring calls loudly,
