One step toward...

by Semaran   Aug 20, 2004


Looking up ahead i see this is not the path i wanted,
I look back and the sun glitters through the leaves,
Times of the past seem so magnificent,
And the future looks desolate, dark, cold,
If only I could transverse through out time,
Take back the steps I have trodden,
Somewhere back there lies a fork in the road,
One path leads me here and one to unknown,
Happiness has to be up the other road,
All my dreams live down that road unchosen,
But did i know when i took this path that it would end in pain?
This world of mine this creation was always my choice,
And no hoping, no dreaming will take me back,
Thinking now: maybe this is the right path for me,
Maybe after all this i made the right choice,
The other path may have lead to darker stories,
I turn and face down the path i have chosen,
I see something new, there is light if i look hard,
As i stare at it it flickers, grows stronger flickers,
It is soft, it is weak, but it is there for just me,
I know now that i will always have this,
I take a new step forward with intent for that light...
