Walking
Journey Through Wastelands: Devin Henderson's Reflective Stride
Lyrics
When was it, that I believed in the dream
Reflecting on the time when belief in a dream existed
A dream that had me reeling in the ecstasy of pride
The dream brought a sense of pride, but it was fleeting
An empty back, turned stone laden
Feeling burdened and unresponsive, possibly due to challenges
That walking forwards is something to be heralded for all to see
Emphasizing the value of moving forward, seen as a noteworthy achievement
Treading lightly, yet sinking fast into the wasteland sands
Attempting progress cautiously, yet facing rapid challenges
What was it, that the subtle sounds of soft treading suddenly echo
Wondering about the sudden prominence of soft footsteps
The stark reminder of things to come
A stark reminder of impending events or consequences
Whether it be aimed to the future, or route to the past
Contemplating whether the path leads to the future or revisits the past
The dream of walking is now more prominent in my mind than in my sole
The dream of walking becomes more significant in thoughts than in reality
And the dreams, ever haunting, convincing me of the one thing I believe to be true
Haunted by persistent dreams, reinforcing a personal truth
Those soft muffled notes on sand, and a back plastered with sweat
Recalling the sensory experience of walking on sand, physical exertion evident
How was it, that I dreamt of such sweet succor
Questioning how the dream provided comfort despite witnessing defeat
When with mine own eyes, saw the bitterness of defeat
Seeing the harsh reality of failure despite the dream's sweetness
That moment of pride
A fleeting moment of pride interrupted by the bitterness of defeat
A chanced respite, a drink after so long
Finding solace and refreshment after a prolonged struggle
Who was it, that began such a journey
Pondering the initiator of the journey into the unknown
The memory glinting across my eye like stars dotting the expanse
A memory of the journey shining vividly, akin to stars in the sky
With a heavy heart, and labored back
Advancing with a heavy heart and evident effort
I walk towards the wastelands
Continuing to walk towards challenging and desolate territories
