Rurouni
by: K. C. "Kaoru-Sensei" Hulsman


Wandering man with the heart of sword,
Does your long journey end at last?
The scar of both soul and face,
Does it finally heal from the past?

Can you find what you've been missing?
Love, friends and family, hearth and home...
Or have you walked this earth too long
So that you are forced to ever roam.

The moonlight plays along the reversed blade.
The fireflies dance along your path.
A lantern burns, beckoning home,
But can you live there without the past's wrath?

You stand at the fork of your path's destiny:
Do you leave, or do you stay?
Do you see the hopeful promise in their eyes,
Or do you merely run away?
