COBBLESTONE PATH

 

Break away from dead-end alley

            To discover who you are

                        Or what you could become

                                    Thrust into beaming headlights glare

 

Take leave tethered chain removed

            Friskily chasing own bushy tail

                        Homeless dislocated belonging nowhere special

                                    Liberation unlimited possibilities to pursue

 

Surrender afloat mastering strange lingua

            Forked gutturals bent on fluency

                        Postcard sent from anywhere else

                                    Outsider limbo there not here

 

Actualized experiences virtual reality detours

            Flexibly changing with uncertain times

                        Independent perspective gained from seeing

                                    Things circumspectly from untold distance

 

One way narrow cul-de-sac impasse

            No gracious exit turnabout space

                        Blindsided by paved good intentions

                                    Doing whatever right of way
