Once again
The road before me lies divided
One path festooned
In diffused light
An effusion of brilliance
Cascading like diamonds
Through lace trimmed branches
While the other path
Is laden heavily
With the mist shrouded shadows
Of uncertainty
And questionable outcome
So down which path
Do I begin by placing my foot?
The obvious
Is the inconspicuous
For while the sunlight offers hope
It also offers thoughts
of the mundane
There is no challenge
Hidden on the clarion path
It is the surreptitious trail
That calls to me
For somewhere among
The opaque foliage
Lies the test of my spirit
And with eyes cast forward
Heart braced
Footstep light
I begin my journey
Into the whatever.
