My Future
I started walking when
the streetlights first
began to glow.
Each one illuminating
my path,
telling me where to go.
I follow dilligently,
determined not to stray,
But one by one
the lights go out.
There is no direction.
Everything now is
so much louder,
the wind, the woodpecker,
the squirrels scratching
the fence.
I feel a pressence
next to me.
It eminates strength, power.
It ignites fear,
a fear that has never
settled in me
quite like this.
It watches me, stalks me,
waits for me to make
my move.
But what if I make
the wrong choice?
What if I fail and
my future is stuck as
a dark winding road,
streetlights turned off,
stars hidden among fog.
