pick up your path. whispers of power; set the foundations
journeys begin – no destination. yet those continue
haplessly exploring
the beginning is past, the end is nowhere
stuck in the middle, and risk life for unknowns
success relative to the mind, fortunes illusive to ambition
fly and plunge / above and below
watch others rise and watch them fall
plummet through clouds; back to the ground
it’s your turn now. one step up the cliff
hesitation once, you won’t be missed
towering above, the rocks are fragile
there is only failure; yet fate is a fickle thing
challenge destiny for high risk and high reward
things submerged in mist; uncertainties
tempo of oscillation rings in the air
to depart or to stay – in the base laid down
perhaps eons ago
has it fallen, does it still stand?
sway in the wind / venture away
where do you go and where do you remain
float on thoughts; forever in between
nature omnipresent, places beyond imagination
human constructs worn
through fire, rain, and snow
a wrong step and everything collapses.
start again or not; time fades backward
some flip the coin to start and end again
their run is gone – it does not clear
heed the call in song
astute in the mind; yet sometimes not
when wrong is right
storms abound / the night is long
opportunity invaluable; gone to never return
one gives up & one persists
keep looking
the end, not near.
