Which Road?
The night sky so dark
Holds scattered trillions of lights
Down the rocky path they guide us
Every which way it rounds
To and fro…there and here
As the tall trees
Hunter of green
Swivel and swerve
Defining the way so distinctively
That to get lost
And art form it would have to be
And a near impossible endeavor
It could prove
So near impossible
That getting lost
Is what the plan
Would have most definitely…
Had to be
So purposefully and intricately done
It would seem…
Yet the plan might be as simple as a dream
Although…
Are they really as simple
As some claim them to seem?
For sometimes
The most simple things
Are the ones that later prove
To hold…within itself
The most complexity
Among the ones that give
The hallucination of complication
In that which they seem to possess
But end up being
A mere fixation
Of our imagination
So…I ask you…
Could getting lost…
On a path…
So unmistakably defined…
Really be…
Such a tremendous endeavor?
When following that path
Beneath the midnight blue
A fork in the road…
Is now within
Your point of view?
This is your queue
A decision must be made
Choose the path you will
But which one will you choose?
Will you choose the one
That’s been trampled…
Stamped and stomped on?
A bridge over the steep ramp?
The easy way to camp?
In which hundreds before you
Once took too?
The one that doesn’t give you a clue
Of the potential…
You might just really…possess?
Or will you choose the one
That leads to the marshland
Of the woodlands…
In which…
More challenges…
You just might actually…
Have to overcome?
The one that…
In the end…
Would bestow on you…
The realization…
Of who…
You could really become?
So…I ask you again…
Could getting lost
On a path
So unmistakably defined
Really be…
Such a hard thing to find?
Especially when the world…
Can be so blind?
When following that path
Beneath the midnight blue
A fork in the road…
Is now within…
Your point of view…
That serves as your queue…
A decision must be made…
But which path…
Is going to choose you?
