Which Road to Take


Which road to take? They both lead in different directions Left? or Right? They twist and turn along the barren ground Which would be better? Pebbles and stones decorate the sandy paths Up? or Down? They both are intriging, urging me on Right? or Wrong? Their similarities are many, differences few What should I choose? They both summon me to follow their lead North? or East? My body's compass continously spins West? or South? My sense of direction has failed me completely I turn back to the place from where I have come Only to discover the beaten path I traveled upon Has dissapeared from sight The cold expanse calls my name and beckons me to choose I twirl back around and make my choice I set out on my way If you asked which trail from there I chose I'd have to say nither one For I made my own between the two And now I'm here and I've found You
