Off Road

In the middle of a road,

Faced by a fork and flames of pain in three directions, I know whatever choice is made will provide new steps.

No shade.

One road is flooded, another is rocky, and the third is paved.

“Take the road less traveled” is what a voice whispers to me.

My heart says, “Beat another path”.

Unchartered and filled with uncertainty, I count to three and go against all I am comfortable with to regain my sanity.

Fields of fear are unknown thoughts and feelings to experience.

One path of faith is made through the odds of a dark reality.

The light is STILL in the sky.

My ancestors have followed the drinking gourd, and I seek the face of their destination.

Liberation from fear…

Freedom from the fear of pain…

From uncertainty…

From failure…

From …

From the three choices and chose to walk into the darkness to find the light,

Off road on my own path.
