What do you see # 74 – March 22, 2021

(For the visually challenged reader, this image shows a forest scene with a path going deep into the forest. The trees at the distance are shrouded in mist)

As I walk the woodland path

Two giant sentinels hold my attention for a moment,

while I ponder the mist shrouded distance

Should I walk further into the unknown?

Will this strange feeling let me pass?

The soft whisper in my mind underlines the words

careful, you may not find your way back.

On this occasion, the feeling had me

turning on my heels to the safety of home.

I will forever wonder what lay beyond the mist.

My mind stretching, growing with every scenario

Turning away, has given me so much more…
