Path

PATH Follow me along this path, she said Ignore the whispers you may hear And be sure to keep a gentle tread No need for worry, naught to fear You’ll see a different world instead Through the trees, leaves pushed aside She walks ahead, a path I mustn’t lose Two paces back, so we don’t collide Is this a new future I should choose But what if she and others have lied Then into a lighter clearing we emerge The midday sun is warm upon my face But no turning back, despite any urge As that world is no more in any case As she looks at me, my emotions surge This was a portal to a new beginning It seemed the right new future for me Less about losing, more about winning As I already sense this is my ascendancy What was a solid reality is now thinning
