Walking
My life lies ahead of me
The road is long and winding
Where will it lead?
I want to find out.
People stop to ask directions.
I do my best to point.
I don’t ask them in return.
I know my way.
I walk along the road.
Looking at the trees,
the leaves,
the sky.
The way is enjoyable, but
I want to reach my destination.
A tree blocks my path.
I work hard to go around it,
And find my life more meaningful
When I do.
Rain falls.
I walk on.
Lightening strikes.
I walk on.
I brave the elements to see where I will go.
I’m eager.
Too eager.
I miss the events I am experiencing.
Too quickly.
I lose the people I want.
The road is narrow.
Only room for one.
I walk on.
I walk alone.
I walk eternally.
