Life trudges along a twisted path
only stopping to retrieve memories
And disperse shattered dreams
closed doors boasting matted welcomes
tempting, tantalizing with the unknown.
Secure risks, chances
yet seen uninviting
And remain idle
Standing unopened
Endless journey's of the mazed mind
Eluded by passages, detours
Filled with promises
Arboring comfort and security
instead find mirages of protection
and illusive aspirations
cautious steps slowly hasten,
with confidence
But blazing horizons appear
out of reach
And grow dim and despair
Not radiating their true brilliance
Again a safer route is choosen
And the sky wanes
into nothingness.
