The Path

Walking along,

Stopping to pick the ripened berries

The sweet sour taste entices the senses.

 

Cars passing quickly

My feet stagger on

Slowly falling into the tempo.

My thoughts wander

My troubles arise.

 

I reach a split in this mental road

Should I go left?

Should I go right?

Should I just turn around and give up?

 

I’m at the dead end

Looking over a cliff to the rough water below.

Maybe I should just jump in.

Feel the cold daggers against my skin.

 

The water draws me in

Welcoming me

Beckoning me.

Telling me to jump.

 

Should I take this leap into the unknown?

Prepare myself for the worst.

In order appreciate the best.

 

I need some help,

A lighthouse in the distance

The light giving guidance

Offering peace

Breaking though the night.

 

Where is my lighthouse?

Is there one?

Or is this the dead end.
