Keeping on

I wore my shoes until the seams split,
the soles shredded, my socks showed.
I wore my shoes until I had walked
500 miles and I had walked 500 more.
My shoes carried me on this journey
---each step a revelation.


A path ahead---my shoes gone!
Rocks cut my feet, but I take one more step.


                   One more step...

    I love the poem. I love the song and movie clips. This is Johnny Depp at his best and so fitting with the poem.
