The Road Ahead
I ponder the road I'm getting ready to face.
I wonder if this road will carry me someplace.
Even if the road I travel is gloomy and dark,
I will not explode but will extinguish the spark!
If I come to a crossroad, a choice must be made.
I will decipher the code, for I will not be afraid.
These cobble stones can be such hell on the feet.
I will walk alone, even if I find myself on a backstreet.
The journey within me may cause some emotional bloodshed.
But my travels will be universal poetry on the road ahead....
Written for Raul Moreno's contest "Pablo Neruda"
Based on picture, I wrote in first person (on what he would have been thinking)
