On the way

Whether you walk into a life or out,
your shadow is chasing you
and a forest of signs
points, points, points.

You walk alone, always alone,
though you have a thousand people
around, and sometimes
somebody takes a short walk along.

Walk in the middle
not between the end and the beginning
You are your own walk
You walk out of a life, and in.

By Ingmar Heytze.
