The trees stood like melted candles-
Like an old mans fragile hands, bubbled & warped.
The warm sun blazed up above
A gentle breeze giving me a blissful, bittersweet relief- reminding me I'm only human.
I felt as though there were three pairs of hands, guiding my feet, heart and mind.
I've debated this decision for awhile,
As it was- a crossroad, however cliché.
I could follow the freeway that would give me a set, splendid life,
Or follow the game trail, not quite a path meant for silk slippers.
Obviously, I'm more adventurous, maybe more so than for my own good.. ..
My eye gazed heaven bound, as I looked at the brick, marble, and glass that would harness the power of my comply.
"I'm a selfish creature" I say with a half-wit smile.
I stride forward, gracefully entering my coronation, my creation.
Though I must confess-
After many sleepless nights, and even more wrinkled brows-
I'm embarking on this survey, although I'm sure the wilderness- wildness of that path has taken me, and now taunts me.
So I sit here thinking of an internal war that was waged and won
And with the sweat of anticipation I finally realize,
this is my road, just for me.. ..
The One Shared eye twinkles with grace
my decision inside has been made,
Its the world that I want, and will forever chase.
