wroclaw

there’s a battered old road through the forest
leading to a hidden gem
if you brave the bumps and go there
you’ll never be the same again

it could tell you a thousand stories
of love and hate and war
of grand and defining moments
and the things that went before

search and you’ll find
the heart and mind
of a stainless soul
savouring its pride
in the deeps inside

many a story stays untold
and moments never last
three days of passion cannot replace
the lifetime of the past

forever it’ll stay in your memory
reliving the beauties it showed
but then you’ll be gone and far away
back down the old forest road
