As you start to walk out on the way,
The way appears intensely real,
You can feel the smell, the texture and the color
The word that describes such quality eludes your mind
The sky seems to be in deep mourning,
The clouds hanging loosely like old clothes,
The shadows beneath moves away the sun’s glare,
You can hear the whispers of the trees standing solemnly on the roadway
Exhaustion seems to whit your imagination,
For you cannot dismiss the uncanny feeling,
That a winged deathly presence will descend on you,
But your stiletto invites the self-air of a cat
Ahead the horizon remains a mystery, terrifying,
As you walk without any sound of your footfall,
But you cannot shake away the hard biting looks all around,
Worst still the sky remained flat, dead and frozen
But your heart beats different strange sounds,
As if you are on a path, a brink of revelation,
And you know the voice of the heart is always faithful,
And all wisdom is born in the loyal heart,
And your past, your today is not a chain but a glorious experience!
Very beautifully written!

Great poem! It really captured the exhilarating, yet frightening journey into the unknown. A journey where there are many rewards, yet too often, our fear makes us settle for complacency.
