Destination Unknown

Sometimes, all it takes is a sign on the side of the road...

I.

Sometimes,

it’s that sign

on the side of the road

that beckons you

to follow

an unknown road

toward a curious

attraction.

II.

Some call it curiosity.

Some call it impulsiveness.

Call it what you like.

It’s the destination

toward an unknown realm

that sparks discovery

and compels you to follow.

III.

You just want to know

what’s down

 that mysterious road.

IV.

The attraction may be nothing.

The attraction can be something.

But it entices

and calls you to follow!

V.

In the end, it doesn’t matter.

It’s to seek the unknown,

the real destination.

And down that road,

you go

just to know.
