Deserted roads and the blanket of night,
there walks a carefree girl, talking only to herself.
In the depths of dark shadows,
she questions her own thoughts,
as if carefully examining
the pathways of her future.
She must reach her destination
before the night slips away,
before the roads converge
and dawn arrives too soon.
Thinking, reflecting, and pondering,
with every arrow ready in her quiver,
she sets out determinedly
toward her goal
Deserted roads and the blanket of night,
there walks that carefree girl,
lost in conversation with herself.                                                                                                                while the world sleeps around her.
