Exile



My long journey is done,

    and now I seek only rest

        for my weary soul--

    no more shall I quest,

        seeking that which is not

            my destiny...

I have defied fate on all my

    twisting paths,

        be they by the sea,

    or under shimmering stars

        in chilling desert winds...

I have defied destiny,

    hurling my challenge

        against the eternal night,

    fighting, trying, refusing to accept

        the fate of being alone,

    without a wife, children;

        without a home...

But, each time it seemed I would succeed,

    I would but fail,

        thwarted by merciless fate;

and now, weary in mind

    and soul,

        I resign myself to

            exile from love

                    and

            solitude from life...

	somewhere there's someone who dreams of your smile and finds in your presence that life is worthwhile, so when you are lonely remember it's true; somebody, somewhere is thinking of you!
