I have come to a fork in the road *two paths ahead of me as different as night and day* One appears as such *Pristine Flat Golden Boring Unhappy* in its gold gilded glitter The other as thus **Overgrown trees Knarled roots protruding from the blackened ground Hard Strenuous Exerting Treacherous** Adventure I take the path less traveled into the lion's mouth I go **Suddenly wicked clouds block the moons glow Lightening flits across the sky Dancing it's chaotic tango I seek shelter under one of the majestic oaks Finding a knot hole large enough for my body Not a moment too soon Rain comes down in waves Hail pelts the ground where I had stood Covering the darkened earth in white Wind whips through the trees ****** them of their leaves** *It rips through my soul Tearing from it the doubts This is the path for me One of hardship* **Mercy Hard love Chaos** *As suddenly as the storm came it leaves the path is still treacherous My head held high My shoulders back* **I let fear stay at my feet to keep me grounded Hope at my head to keep it up Peace at my core to wield off doubt Defiance as my sword to cut down passiveness I will remain strong in this chaos** as I continue my journey into the mouth of the lion

Mouth of the Lion
I have come to a fork in the road *two paths ahead of me as different as night and day* One appears as such *Pristine Flat Golden Boring Unhappy* in its gold gilded glitter The other as thus **Overgrown trees Knarled roots protruding from the blackened ground Hard Strenuous Exerting Treacherous** Adventure I take the path less traveled into the lion's mouth I go **Suddenly wicked clouds block the moons glow Lightening flits across the sky Dancing it's chaotic tango I seek shelter under one of the majestic oaks Finding a knot hole large enough for my body Not a moment too soon Rain comes down in waves Hail pelts the ground where I had stood Covering the darkened earth in white Wind whips through the trees ****** them of their leaves** *It rips through my soul Tearing from it the doubts This is the path for me One of hardship* **Mercy Hard love Chaos** *As suddenly as the storm came it leaves the path is still treacherous My head held high My shoulders back* **I let fear stay at my feet to keep me grounded Hope at my head to keep it up Peace at my core to wield off doubt Defiance as my sword to cut down passiveness I will remain strong in this chaos** as I continue my journey into the mouth of the lion
Which path will you take?
