There is a road in a far distant place
No simple highway that all soon must face
Between the dawn and the dark of the night
Each footstep echoes alone on this plight
And if you go there no one can follow
It's yours all alone like the cry of the swallow
It's a road dark and lonely that all must choose
A place where the shadows are cloaks that we use
No matter what calling whether the lowest or high
We are all beckoned forward the day that we die
Remember what follows us always into the night
For to tell any different we must follow the light...
Author notes
8.~ There is a road, no simple highway, between the dawn and the dark of night, and if you go, no one may follow, that path is for your steps alone.

I like your wording in this. It read fairly smooth, had good images and depth to it.
Good luck in your contest.
