The path forks and twists and bends
As it muddles you with clouded thoughts
Sensing your trepidation and pang
Should you dare take the leap of faith
Or unsheathe your blade
Â
For some it is uncharted and unkind
While others find it monotonous
Lying politely ahead of you
It stands there to be trampled
Or is it you that gets beaten?
Â
You begin to crawl and slither
With the change of the weathers
One foot at a time you skip and jump
Grabbing everything you can
The rebellion of the night and the sunlight
Â
The muddy footprints scattered all over
Welcome you to your endpoint
While you furiously work to achieve
The tricky balance of emotions
Addition and multiplication
Â
Having mastered the art
Maneuvering it is a dismal task
It curtsies you as a faithful servant
But you want nothing with it now
Just drag yourself and no more
Â
Ensnaring your hungry heart
It now beckons you to the journey
It had expertly hidden
That you yearned for long
Wasted away finding your way out of life’s maze
Â
Believing that you aren’t done, not yet
You carve the memory of a lifetime
To retell the next passersby
Engraved within its bottomless grains
As it slowly fades away in time.
…now that you’re here
