A Long Way from Home

I walked a path unclearly marked
away from common sense.
Misery lingered in the air
and clouds of emotion were dense.
What to do, I didn’t know,
and so I just kept on.
Far from all that I knew
A long, long way from home.

On one side stood green pastures
sun spread love and light.
On the other rose dark hills
filled with anger and spite.
Who can say what was happening?
I certainly couldn’t tell
away I strode from warmth and peace
and neared the lands of hell.
The road was tough and filled with stuff
I’d rather not describe.
A blow to my sanity
a purge of peace and mind.
But I just kept on going
Through fog as thick as foam.
I never once strayed from my path
a long, long way from home.
