A poem written during the late 80's, inspired by Kitaro's 'Silk Road'.

A golden haze
    Spreads across
        The wavelike dunes of sand


As the azure
    Firmaments
        Gaze down in eternal vigil


Across that great
    Ocean of time
        Beckons another world


If you would then come
    On that pilgrimage
        Do but the long trail of footprints follow
