Poetry- The Second Chapter
The Journey
At times we will be walking side by side
then I blink
and I see you have found a different path.
Or was it me that diverted?
I blink once again, and find
we are one in one again.
Out of the corner of my eye, I see you slightly wavering.
You begin to lag behind.
Holding to me tighter-I slow my pace
Something distracts me, so I walk away
only to find you stayed and I am alone.
In my anxiousness and unease of the solitude
I run back to our original course
same speed, same scenery.
An obstacle approaches-you jump onto it first and then turn to lend
me your hand.
You control my climb and set me firmly on the straight path,
once again.
I try to look further don the path but an not make out the
blurred shadows.
It seems each step forward makes them move one step back
Still blurry.
Signs are stationed along the road
I pay attention to most
yet inside- I feel signs of a different kind
It is troubling to hear and listen
to act and to do
Thus, I remain on this path,
wondering how long it will take
me to get some place I do not know.
