To the Wonder

The silky blue sky augurs a clear day Agile birds playfully gliding in the air Willowy weeds spread across the way Cool breeze circling as it blew my hair Picturesque nature at its calmest In my numbness, I felt its whisper Meaning to tease, please and impress Seeing yet feeling nothing, I wandered A walk away from the usual place To fill that emptiness in my chest Something at the end of the maze A doorway to venture on a quest At the threshold I mulled which way to go To the right where the sun glows Or to the left where the wind blows Wondering what both stand to show Westward through an endless narrow space Walled by tall plants dense with leaves Looking up, the sun intense in its glare Anxious yet gritty to conquer the weaves This endless journey has frayed my nerves Was I was wrong in the choices I’d made Taking the East might be what I deserve Halfway through I heard a sweet serenade An engaging tune, lingering and inviting Offering calmness amid the chaos I was in Leading my way to where I should be going Giving the chance to see what lies therein Glancing back, a choice is still there The freedom to choose what I prefer Go back or take a chance to nowhere Something awaits me there somewhere With no sun I stumbled in the dark Emerging ahead is a flicker of light A ray of hope, a chance to embark Towards a new life, a beckoning sight Beyond the tangle’s end, a clearer view Doubted the choice but took a chance What I saw is unique, special and new A time for change, a fresh beat to dance!
