The Road

The secluded road through the woods
Darkness that is the devil
The void that is solitude

Splendor profuse on the periphery
Yet in the midst is emptiness
Home to the dead, a cemetery

Trails attach and trails detach
Spiral down the jungle these diverging paths
Yet the road never does find its match

Alone with the shadows
Labyrinthine its digress
Completes the most solitary journey of all

The stages of ascent
The suffering in descent
Traversing through them all
It diminishes into a wall.

the road will never find its match.. the road will always be alone.. the match should be looked for in the journey...
oh why did your road end at a wall... do you mean dead end...?

Yes I thought of it as a dead end, I am not too good at prose I am afraid!!
