As I was going to the airport, the iPod chanced to play this forgotten song from my playlist. I thought how appropriate.
How many roads have I wondered?
None, and each my own
Behind me the bridges have crumbled
No question of returnAutumn leaves like discarded dreams
trampled underneath a tide of careless feet
it’s the same song playing
everywhere I go
it’s like an army marching right through me.Nowhere to go but the horizon
where, then, will I call my home?Summer spent, in the high grass
or just fragments, ransacked memories
dark river snakes, across this murky hall
boatman sings his downstream melodies.How many roads have I wondered?
None, and each my own
Behind me the bridges have crumbled
where, then, will I call my home?
You can listen to this song by Susheela Rahman on YouTube.
