The Ever So Soft Light...

The light within once burned so bright

I could see things clearly like day versus night

A path lit I knew the way

And then suddenly out of nowhere came a stormy day

Filled with darkness everywhere I looked

I could not see that once bright shining light

I squinted and searched with all my might

The ever so soft light I could barely make out in the distance

Was it fading or just flickering

I took one step and then another

My uncertainty grew more and more

With each step I would take a quick glance back

What if I continue to move forward and end up losing my way

Do I dare turn around and go back this surely can't be the way

I stopped, stood still, and just stared

There is no point in turning around and trying to go back from once where I came

If that were the correct path I'd be in the place that always tended to stay the same

So once again I continued down the path of the unknown

A destination whose story has not been told a journey only I would learn as it now unfolds
