Come What May

Come What May

 

a crossroad of sorts
lay stretched out before me
a maze of faint possibilities

 

a destiny….maybe

 

a path I have to decide on
….definitely

 

dreams that use to kindle
the embers of my soul
still beckon my longing heart
and yet as the years slowly fade away
I become increasingly aware
of the realities of those old dreams

 

I am too old not to realize
that time is unyielding
and too young to dismiss
the desires that still linger

 

the path that calls overwhelms
but I know that fear is the foundation
of most life changing steps
so I want to heed that call
regardless of my doubt

 

but my mind, heart and soul
are in discord when it comes
to considering the leap required

 

visions of happiness
hide within cloudy hues
a melody of color just out of reach

 

my feet itch restlessly
with the passion of everything
my heart longs for

 

and I know I have
 but to take that first step
that will forever change
life as I know it

 

…come what may
