Keep the Empty Words in Your Mouth

What are words

Without the truth?

Cruelty and lies. 


How do the hopeless survive?
With the hope of others.


You can’t move the mountain,

Not with your words.

You try to cast a spell,

But your magic is an illusion.


You must take the first step

Into the wild unknown,

No matter how cold the windy blast,

No matter how deep the snow.


Then you must take another.


Why do you stand there

Muttering curses

When the goal is so far away

And the air getting colder?


You say, let’s turn around

Go back to the place we came from

But

That place is gone.

It no longer exists.


You say, we haven’t prepared.

No food, no water, our clothes

Are too thin and threadbare.


These are the things you have.

You can’t prepare anymore.


Go onward, though you are lost.

Go onward, though the goal seems unreachable.

What else can you do?

If you stand there, you will freeze.

Your heart will die.


Move and make the blood move.

In the end, it is all you have.
