I knew not where I traveled
When I took upon the road
The path was lit by moonlight
Through clouds it barely showed
And although I had forever
Although I had the time
I knew Charon asked a price
Something not yet mine
Ah I certainly could fake it
As I approached the starting line
Yes I certainly could fake it
But I’ve yet to reach
That phantom starting line.
The ranger awaits me distantly
With energy sublime
And although I’m starting later
I’ll get to them in time.
Just a phantom toll booth
A journey for a child
Like a story sought today
With twists and turns quite wild
And I feel the shakey start in me
Jubilant and mild
Yes I feel that shakey start in me
Like a jubilant young child
And though I’ve yet to reach it
The journey will be wild
I may yet return to here to pay Charon his due
But for now this is my whole tale, I’ll leave it here with you.
I really like this poem. Good work
