At some points in our lives we come to a pause right before an intersection, figuring the choices we are going to take, fearing the uncertainties behind our head. And in my life I have come to so many points where I doubt my own conviction, question those pieces that comprise myself, and reconsider choosing a thorny, weedy, rocky decision of letting myself free but failing all those around me...
It is during these times that I heave my hands forward, coping for some strength to switch on the streetlights alongside me...
Wake up,
dear eyes!
Untrodden path
right before me,
My feet cease
with uncertainty.
Hands hoisted,
tearing such
deafening serenity
Groping in the
cold space
for rails
For I dream not
to stumble
into the unknown,
into the foggy
lonely distance.
Voices heard,
those in my head,
those screams of
the silence ahead.
Seeing through
the thick fog
my eyes want to
foresee such
strange territory
that reigns ahead,
Visions of the future
vague as a
twilight beam
My feet are slowly
moving forward
facing, embracing
fear.
Starving
quicksand
Awaits derailment
and for my walk
to stray.
Wake up,
dear eyes!
