Long walk

I walked
Day and night
To find you
You, to find me

I stopped
Despite my promise
Not to look back
I did

I couldn't see you
Yet
You felt so near
So, I waited

And hoped
Always hope
I tired
Not in my mind

My body
Exhausted
My eyes, heart and soul
Will wait

Paulo Coelho

Beautiful, as ever.


I thank all those who laughed at my dreams;
You have inspired my imagination.
I thank all who wanted to squeeze me into their scheme;
They have taught me the value of freedom.

I thank all who have lied to me;
You have shown me the power of truth.
I thank all those who have not believed in me;
You have expected me to move mountains.
I thank all those who have written me off;
You have aroused my courage.

I thank all those who have left me;
They gave me room to create.
I thank all those who have betrayed me and abused;
You have let me be vigilant.
I thank all those who have hurt me;
They have taught me to grow in pain.

More importantly, I thank all
Who love me as I am;
They give me the strength to live
