The Road Taken

                                           

It was a hazy dawn

Filtered by the flirty fog

I take off on a sojourn 

A stimulus for this travelogue

I go mum, falling short of speech

Silence plays my copilot

Immense peace, my comrade.

Awe douses my every breath,

Marvel oozes out every pore.

I stay still, soaking the calm

I couldn't ask from life, any more.

But the giver He is, he heaps his grace

His benevolence brings a deep solace,

My eyes bestowed with a film of mist

What virtues of mine gifted this tryst?

As each revelation leaves me in bliss

I stay mute and fall into the abyss.

Stretches of land being grazed by the dawn

Orange torch blazes the morn

Crystal waters, infinite sky

With flecks of birds chirping as they fly

I feel inadequate for the lack of wings

That launch me out into His arms.

Just as I feel a flutter in my gut

I realize flying props are optional

When the soul soars up unstoppable

Propelled by His formidable blessing.

I walk the trail, the rugged path

The road that was taken before me and beyond

Muddy footprints keep me company

While the lap of nature cradles me in incubation.

I stay present, I stand my ground

Being in the now, Being in the know.

For He that's my divine founder

For He that's my friend and guide.

I renounce my cares, I walk the trail

Of the Road taken

But unfolding like it was meant for just me

Beyond the land and beyond the sea

Those footprints, they usher me forward

Experience - my ultimate reward.
