Tell me what you think..............
Go
By: Katie Simpson
The sun cast a shadow parallel
To the one cast off the “one way” sign pole
It is that of a woman
Fixed eyes upon the compass before her
The decision remains an obscurity
An obsession to make the right one
The sign points to one distinct direction
Urges calling to break this law
The corresponding path remains hallow
Already carved by gathering masses
Roads less traveled remain risky
But the unknown beckons beyond orthodoxy
Along path one, she finds a faded sun
The clouds, a dull mustard yellow
Path two emits a vague sky
An artist’s touch, a tide of turquoise
She twist both east and west
Unsure of the fragile weathered trails
A haven where the wave of a butterflies wings
Can change the condition of the route ahead
So she plunges…
