They say the road is short
A simple route to a simple destination
Blooming skies and lush grass
Brown dirt etching a path
Don't worry, soon you'll be back
Sometimes they say the road is long
Extending mountain to forest to sea
A prolonged blossom that may not cease
Beauty swirling in shapes and colors
Telling you how much you matter
I have yet to find this road
Whether long or short,
It does not exist
Do I need a boat?
I wish I could find this path
Promised with treasure beyond math
For me, days are an internal struggle
Hopping second to second
Praying I won't become a wreckage
I have friends
Birch and Fern
My sisters Malia and Mei
But it's not the same
I need that road
Only if I knew where it claims
