Hermes Enodios
A route through the crossroads
I've been standing where the choices split
Trying to make sense of it
Every direction pulls at me
Like something underneath speaks quietly
There's no voice I can clearly hear
Nothing solid, nothing near
Still it rises when I'm unsure
Still it rises when I'm unsure
Like it's felt all of this before
No map to tell me where to go
Just something deeper that I know
Every road has known his footsteps
Every crossroads has heard his name
Hermes Enodios in the moment
In the pull I can't explain
I don't need to solve the future
I don't need to justify
Every road has known his footsteps
In the way I choose my life
I've tried to think it into place
Run every angle, every case
But the more I try to define
The less it feels like it's mine
And it finds me when I let go
Not as something I'm told to know
Just a shift I can't ignore
Like I've stepped here before
No clear answer, no straight line
Just something steady I can find
Every road has known his footsteps
Every crossroads has heard his name
Hermes Enodios in the turning
In the step before I explain
I don't have to fight the feeling
(I don't have to fight the feeling)
I don't have to overthink
Every road has known his footsteps
In the edge between
It's been there in every doubt
Every time I've turned around
Every place I couldn't see
Still something carried me
Not a rule and not a sign
Not a voice that isn't mine
But a rhythm I can trust
When I move, it moves because
Every road has known his footsteps
Every crossroads has heard his name
Hermes Enodios in the motion
In the part that feels the same
I don't need to name it clearly
I don't need to prove it true
Every road has known his footsteps
In the way I choose to move
No final word, no perfect view
Just what I feel and what I choose
It brings me right where I need to be
(Safe travels, my friend)
