The Road to Home
I started
out on my road;
A lone
wanderer was me.
I followed
no borne path known,
Tread new
ground beneath my feet.
I searched
for home on my road,
My long,
treacherous journey.
Almost
found it, this I know,
But then
my love betrayed me.
With one
flick of her strong bow
Kikyo
bound me to the tree.
Fifty
years I spent unknown,
Cold, dead
and solitary.
Then one
day, a young girl came,
And like
waking from a dream,
She freed
me from my prone state
And has
never let me be.
I didn't
want her beside
Me; I
loathed her company
For she
carried the same face
Of the one
who destroyed me.
Here I
was, alive and free
But what
good did that do me?
I still
had a road to go
On a yet
untold journey.
But that
young girl wouldn't leave
My side,
so stubborn is she.
So I took
her for the ride
Believing
that she would see.
But Kagome
never left
My side,
never strayed from me.
No matter
how many times
The road
changed beneath my feet,
I was
finally at home
As long as
she was near me.
It took me
so long to know,
It took my
whole life to see:
If you
travel all alone,
It's a
lonely home you'll keep.
