Kerry Rose - Lost
- 2 months ago
The path has forked
I wonder why
It feels like I'm lost
Which way forward am I
The way on the left
Winds along meadows and streams
While the ascent on the right
Leads to new vistas, new dreams
My miles through the meadows
Have nourished my soul
Kept the loneliness demons
From exacting a toll
The thrill of the climb
To stunning new views
Races my heart
Is it too risky to choose
Have I climbed there before
Are these only faint dreams
Oh for a glimpse of a map
Won't be forthcoming it seems
My mind says the left choice
My heart says the right
I'm needing some guidance
But no markers in sight
Long shadows are forming
But it's been a fine day
Let the choice that I make here
Not lead me astray\n\nKerry Rose
