The Road Within

I crossed a thousand silent questions,

knocked on doors that wouldn’t speak.

Every promise pulled me forward,

every answer felt incomplete.

I asked the stars to show me meaning,

asked the fire how to begin.

I felt the shift beneath my breathing,

and the road - it turned within.

Not every answer needs a sound,

some truths rise when I slow down.

I don’t look far, I don’t look through,

I let the moment pull me through.

The destination’s not beyond -

it’s been within me all along.

No need to run, no need to chase,

I found my home in this space.

I smile as the wind touches my face,

the silence now singing with grace.

Not the end of the road, but awakening,

I have arrived… and still, I walk within.

The road within… the road within…

I have arrived… at the road within

The wind slows down, I match my breath,

my footsteps soften, I lay down the rest.

No finish line, no need to prove,

I walk the way my heart moves.

Not every answer needs a sound,

some truths rise when I slow down.

I don’t look far, I don’t look through,

I listen close, and I know what to do.

The road within - I choose my pace.

The road within - I give it space.

The road within - I follow the sound

of my own feet on steady ground.

I have arrived… and still I walk,

with open hands, an open heart.

The road within… the road within…

that’s where I am… that’s where I’ve been.

Yeah yeah,

the road within, where I belong.

the road within, is where I belong.

the road within, the road within, the road within,
