Sense of Direction
I am a bug,
small and some-what strapped down
on a spider’s web
But I escape
ready to find,
safety.
But, there’s east, there’s west, there’s up, there’s down,
there is right or left, north or south:
every way that I could go,
every way that I could go.
I am an artist
with a furrowed brow,
a blank canvass
prepared to be painted.
But first--- a focal point
What is most important,
that all else leads up to?
Yes, there’s east, there’s west, there’s up, there’s down,
there is right or left, north or south:
everything that I could choose
everything that I could choose
I am on a path,
curved yet clear
sweet spring melodies fill the air
I could deviate,
I could,
I could,
I could!
Missing opportunities could kill me,
but taking them could do the same.
I have found the way
in which I must go.
In time, I’ll wander, through snowfall,
returning to my home.
