Path
Before me, a door
beside it, another
                             and on, does this repeat.
Each hides a path for future.

And here I stand, staring at paths,
putting a foot on each, then pulling back.
                                     Few forbidding.
                                     None paved in guiding light.

A path I did choose,
                                                    before,
traveling it high on white horse,
          'till it faded
                     and the only way to go was back,
                                                          to now.
