And just like that, the trail persisted no more
Having exhausted its potential
The final branch of dendritic divergence
Succumbed heroically to a lack of endurance
Crumpling down, finally at peace
Far beyond the quandaries of men
And the reach of their corruption
The vast wilderness lies uncompromised
An unroamed and kingless kingdom
You've travelled all the way back to the origin
Carried by paths that only reveal themselves once you've lost your own
Those tranquil groves you sought within you
Whose gentle winds whispered in your sleep
Were always here, waiting
