Freelights

A sole traveller on the path of seeking "the true light" recounts his adventures.

---

Long ago I saw those lights

Shimmering stars that had a beckoning

Perched upon those towering heights

I was drawn without a reckoning

The lights had called many before

Fireflies that were gleaming bright

They all desired to see it more

And didn't feel an ounce of fright

In the still midnight air

The light beaconed to nomadic folks

Guiding souls with dreams to spare

To lead astray the beacon coaxed

I walked the way for countless nights

Defeated bodies adorned the way

I had to see countless fights

And numerous being led astray

The path had raised a lot of doubts

If what I did was even right

What this all was even about

If it was all worth a fight

But in the end, I found peace

Knowledge abound, my soul released

For the shimmering stars were not just lights

They were beacons of wisdom, infinite sights

Perched upon heights so grand

They held the keys, hand in hand

I realized that the journey was the prize

A quest for truth, where the soul truly flies

The doubts and fears, they all did fade

As I delved into secrets they displayed

Each star a lesson, each night a chance

To grow, to learn, to truly advance

So I continued on that winding trail

Through hardship, joy, and every travail

For in the end, I found my way

To the wisdom of the stars, where I'll forever stay
