I thought that my voyage had come to its end
at the last limit of my power,---that the path before me was closed,
that provisions were exhausted
and the time come to take shelter in a silent obscurity.
But I find that thy will knows no end in me.
And when old words die out on the tongue,
new melodies break forth from the heart;
and where the old tracks are lost,
new country is revealed with its wonders.
Closed Path

Kendall Yrisarri: I find myself at the end of the first section of the poem, disbelieving the second half could apply to me.
Because of this, I am going to act as if the second half may be real to me in this moment and see what happens.
