Livio Roy Poem
It is going to be a long ride, I was told
Before the first foot was placed,
Left or right, I don't remember,
It never mattered, it was I who was alone!
Solitary ranger, how long till your legs rest?
How long till you pass the test?
Where is it that you go? I don't know!
The map? I lost when they blindfolded me!
Blindfolded? Ay! Why? There are guides!
"Trust", they said! The process is one you
Should trust! Trust is one hard word,
Trust, you see, is the only option!
Fret not! The guides will lead you along,
But the walk is yours, little man!
Someone to accompany? That was not
In the contract. But, when did I ever sign?
Eat the fruit once every night!
It will make sure you'll keep up,
Every people you see on the way,
Are taverns, but not company to take!
Will it ever end, for I want to be home,
Home is where my mind finds peace,
Home is where my friends will be,
If I go back, will I be home?
Which way is back, how should I know?
And negative, that wasn't home.
Home is where this treck will take you!
Weary traveller, there's so much to go!

Livio Roy Poem
To be ordinary is extraordinary,
To be still is a mad endeavour,
To be sad is easier than happiness,
To get by, a challenging venture.
The battle starts at dawn,
Does it end, there's no way to know!
For the dear mother of fresh thoughts and
Joyous health, let him wear nights away!
Hope is a four letter word,
Hope is the voices that enquire,
Fellow comrades don't leave the sickly behind,
The journey ain't solo, poor soul!
And when it all ends, you will see,
The Alpine climb that ceased was aced,
By helping hands and soulful ears,
Those who left, would they've helped?
You'll never know for they never stayed,
Would they have stayed? Who knows!
Little warrior! Hold on to those who chose
To stay, And wait 'til the summit's reached.
The top is where you shed happy tears,
When it all ends, you'll see what strength
You achieved,
After the gloomy guest refused,
To leave until you climbed that Mount!
