Streets of Thirst

If you climb a mountain,  
would you ask how high it is?
Stare at the horizon,
Forsake the road

Risk instant salvation
Just to see the rest of the journey
Someday she may understand
The middle of the storm is always quiet

Spread the wealth of an artificial lord,
and give a shallow sing of salvation
Freeze their tears and shatter them
to inmortality

Witness its blooming, entangled in its vines.
Independent thought walks the streets of memory
Threw the swift breeze of thirst, stumbling with its breath
Gasping. One kiss could be our journey, ending in a lie

A night on my last hour, stumbled
Avoiding another thought,
And striving threw the endless
Streets of thirst

-C.M.

"Risk instant salvation
Just to see the rest of the journey"
amazing way of seeing things... i am currently going through a moment that makes me feel that way, exactly that way...should i keep walking even if i am going to find some dreadful end to my journey? or should i stay, choose instant salvation, choose the safe choice and spend my life wondering, what if?...thanx for putting my feelings in words..

Thanks for nothing! I'm so glad my words can help someone, and especially you, you know that I'll be here for you till the end. I hope my words can inspire you to make the right choice and to be succesful. I can't tell you exactly what to do, only to follow your heart.
