Thoughts On A Cold Winter Morning

~ ~ ~

In life there are times when the world tells you what to do.

You wish you could go a different way but it can't be.

I walk slowly down this path.

Not wanting to look either way.

It's like a very dark tunnel

where you see a bit of light at the end.

Only it's so dark with turns that

you don't even consider that last step.

You know that the light will be better.

That the walk will be worth it.

Only this time, it is an unknown.

Not one that I've done before.

I will walk and get there.

It's just an unknown world to me.

I really can't see the past or how long this will last.

I just am.

In this darkness traveling.

It's my new world.

I just wish there were a few windows

so I could see the colors around me.

I like to hear them.

The birds and nature and I will hope for these

to visit me from time to time.

The new jouney that I'm on.

Shall We

             ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Who told you to do that?
Look over here at me.
During these wild months.
Blowing with me to the end.
I don't know my path.
It's been rather bumpy lately.
Never a smooth trail ahead.
Still, I make it through.
Always have.
Always will.
Like I said, if you're walking with me,
you're in for a wild adventure.
I don't bend to anyone.
I feel the beat of a tired heart.
I walk a bit slower.
Noticing the clouds and smaller things.
If you go the other way, with someone else,
you won't see the world I do.
It will be easier.
Mine is not.
It's never dull by my side.
You'll have a hell of a time,
while walking with me.
It's a world of unknowns.
The path I lead.
You didn't really want to know this.
You want to turn back.
I don't blame you.
I would if I could.
So, shall we go ?
