#9 - I Took the Path of Uncertainty
Today I was looking back through some of the poetic stuff I wrote in the past, and one poem stood out the most to me. I’ll just leave it here to speak for itself: Today I saw a path Shrouded in mist, Stretched out for miles and miles Beyond the dark horizon Nowhere else to go... Nowhere but forward The echo of each footstep Reverberated all around, While the fog closed in To swallow me whole Nothing did I see here... Nothing in this milky shroud ‘The light! Where is the light?’ The heart’s deafening cries Brought me to my knees, In tearful silence No one was there... No one to hear a lost traveler Yet in the distance A light shone through I did not know whose lamp it was But - ‘I must move forward’ One step (My knees shook) Two steps (With shallow breath) Three (I saw the wind) Four (Sweeping away the fog) Five (Like silk curtains) And as I stepped Into the light, I saw on the other side A golden smile All at once I saw everything And yet nothing at all
