Tag: the path

Shrouded

When the path to my goal
Lays shrouded in mist
I forge ahead

The path may be obscured
I may lose my way
Or become disoriented

The obstacles in my path
Alter my flow
Creating new patterns
Of experience
In the eddies

Beautiful patterns
Surprising, exquisite
Challenging, evocative
Alarming, provocative

I seek the road
Which takes me higher
Up to where the magic lives

And there take in
All that is
Spread out into infinity

Even the benefit of high vantage
May not reveal the road ahead

I travel the path before me
Accepting the unknown

It has always been
When following a path
With iron-clad conviction
That I find myself
Furthest astray

Are you going
The way I am going
The way I am going there?

Then let us share The Road
Together

Many, many times have I
Eschewed the paths in darkness
To take instead a path in light
My wisdom interceding

Until one day thought I
Perhaps the dark is just unknown
In need of light
And wanting an explorer

Sometimes I think
It would be nice
If there were bold
Bright signs along the path
Warning me
What’s coming up
On the journey
That is life

Curves ahead
Construction
Crosswinds
Historical Marker
Scenic Viewpoint

When the road ahead
Appears to have no options
And may end
In a box canyon

I remind myself
There are always options

Some paths I see from a distance

Where they begin
Is as much a mystery
As where they end

But their promise of adventure
Calls to me
