I knew not where I traveled<\/p>\n

When I took upon the road<\/p>\n

The path was lit by moonlight<\/p>\n

Through clouds it barely showed<\/p>\n

And although I had forever<\/p>\n

Although I had the time<\/p>\n

I knew Charon asked a price<\/p>\n

Something not yet mine<\/p>\n

Ah I certainly could fake it<\/p>\n

As I approached the starting line<\/p>\n

Yes I certainly could fake it<\/p>\n

But I’ve yet to reach<\/p>\n

That phantom starting line.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The ranger awaits me distantly<\/p>\n

With energy sublime<\/p>\n

And although I’m starting later<\/p>\n

I’ll get to them in time.<\/p>\n

Just a phantom toll booth<\/p>\n

A journey for a child<\/p>\n

Like a story sought today<\/p>\n

With twists and turns quite wild<\/p>\n

And I feel the shakey start in me<\/p>\n

Jubilant and mild<\/p>\n

Yes I feel that shakey start in me<\/p>\n

Like a jubilant young child<\/p>\n

And though I’ve yet to reach it<\/p>\n

The journey will be wild<\/p>\n

I may yet return to here to pay Charon his due<\/p>\n

But for now this is my whole tale, I’ll leave it here with you.<\/p>\n
