I No Longer Walk Alone: To 'Abdu'l-Baha

I No Longer Walk Alone:
To 'Abdu'l-Baha

I no longer walk alone,
down a dark and barren road,
paved with sharp glass and stone,
while carrying a heavy load.

The Master1 walks by my side,
so I no longer walk alone,
he is my ever present guide,
through matter's fields of stone.
