Decisions
It’s
coming.
Run,
run through the forest
As
fast as you can go.
Just
don’t get caught.
You
must keep moving
Or
it will catch you
And
trap you forever
In
the palm of its hand.
But
be warned for ahead of you lies
A
fork in the road.
One
path leads to safety eternal,
Another
betrays the wanderer,
A
third path never ends
And
always keeps you running.
One
path is covered with flower petals
And
beckons with birdsong and light.
Another
path lies shrouded in mist and darkness,
Gloomy,
forbidding, and daunting.
The
last path appears simple and plain
With
dirt, shrubs, and small animals.
But
who knows if light ends in dark
Or
if the darkness ends in light?
What
appears simple could be more complex,
For
looks can be deceiving.
Or
maybe they aren’t after all;
Maybe
light will lead to light
But
no one knows the right path,
And
no one can be sure.
The
decision is yours.
You
can never turn back, so –
Choose
wisely.
