it's a long way down the creak

it's a long way down the creak, my dear,

but follow the hissing of the spring,

you can't go wrong with mindful ears,

you'll hear the waters sing.

it's a rough road to the glen, old friend,

but watch for signs of times gone past,

they'll show you where the path will bend,

and lead you to the supple grass.

the night is long and fitful, girl,

but sleep, and find your solitude,

make peace with this aul' dreary world,

and rest among the evening dew.

your spirit may tire and grow weary,

still, you mustn't give the boundless

love you have to things you fear -

find your strength in what is blessed.

[John the Baptist]

Having made a considerable part of that journey myself, I can identify with these words. Make peace with the world and don't give your love to that which you fear. On the other hand, I ain't quite ready to rest in the evening dew yet. Still got some miles left on the old odometer.

Such beautiful words put forth in such an elegant way. I feel like i can relate to a lot of the emotion penned out here.
