The Right Road Taken

I hear a voice call out to me through whispers in the wind at night. It haunts my soul and sends a plea for love to shine its brilliant light. Within my dreams my spirit seeks to find the source of this request. To share the love of which it speaks has now become my fervent quest. I travel past the demons' lair that held me captive for so long. I quicken pace lest they snare entrapping me within their throng. I journey down the winding road still following my lover's cry, but as I see the fork I've slowed now wondering which path to try. If I choose wrong, the voice will fade and my last chance for real love dies. I listen for the serenade, within her words she might advise. She sings a song with a western tone and now it's clear which route to take. The west is where the light has shone, the truer path, there's no mistake. As further down the road I go my destination lies in sight. I hear the music's volume grow, my heart's now dancing in delight. Upon her beautiful face I look as her arms envelop me. I'm thankful for the road I took for on that path I found the key. It opened up sweet passion's door where two lost spirits join as one. Composing a true lover's score this duet’s journey's just begun.
