PATHWAYS

Pathways

The sun's rays filter through the trees
Casting shadows in every direction
Moss laden rocks lie in the shade below
Multi colored fungi protruding
Glistening with the early mornings dew
As I begin the journey of a new day.

Looking ahead I see the peak of a mountain
Seems so far from reach - Yet within my grasp
The journey of a day.

The air is warm and moist as I progress
Slowly along my chosen pathway
To reach a new height - A new experience
A place I have never been before
An exploration of the unknown.

As I come to an unexpected fork in the pathway
I contemplate what direction to follow
The uncertainty that lies ahead - A decision
To choose a path of light - Sun's rays beaming
Guiding me along the way - Gentle slopes
Easy inclines - Gradual winding trails
Along the pathway to the mountains peak;
Or will I have chosen a path of darkness
Shadows cast from the trees - Steep slopes
A path that is rough and forbidden.

Do I have an option in what direction to follow
A decision that is mine alone to make
For is there a time of decision and choice
Where I can look ahead and be able to see;
Or is it a vision - A vision without sight.
