The Trodden Path 10-18-01
Hearts entangled in a swirling stream…
Thrashing about for a way out.
Wondering, waiting for the day she’ll know the path
To the world beyond her own…
To life!
Storming about, unpredictable as the wind…
Asking herself, where does one begin…
Begin to see beyond the path behind,
Beyond the rage and pains of worry…
Beyond herself…to see what is before her.
When does one learn when to grasp ahold of the life before her?
To cut those ropes of yester-ages…
To see beyond what is known…
And to seek one’s hopes and dreams…
That which is staring oneself pointblank in the face!
One is of the mind that does not think, only feel…
One does not know where to start, and when to end.
When one is not alone…she makes herself lonely…
As though she were alone…not caring…
Or perhaps caring too much…
One is filled with a surplus of emotions…
Such as one never even imagined existed!
But only dreamed of…
And when it manifests,
One has decided to run…
Though never knowing what she is running from…
She turns away from all the clear paths.
She keeps running deeper into a deeply seeded forest…
Full of maggots and such that tear at her entire being!
Until she is not a being at all…but an empty spirit…
Though one cannot truly be empty,
As the emotions never flee her…
Only stay within,
Where they may fester and scream…
Till the day she faces them…perhaps to the death…
On that day, she will rise to her falling…
Jump into the calm before the rushing tornado…
And collapse under nature’s breath!
But perhaps then she will find herself anew…
With a new beginning to a life she never faced…
But until that day, she runs…and climbs…and hides…
Hoping that she doesn’t near the end of the forest…
And find herself as alone as she began…
And perhaps…if she should chance upon that new start…
They may bloom together into a new season of life!
As noone should be left to fend alone…
But the problem has never been ‘being’ alone…
Only not knowing the right way to ask for guidance…
But now one asks…is there love enough to share…
And would you hear me if I called?
