My body. My canvas.

As I tower over the unpaved road
Memories flood the mind like sweet symphonies
My eyes squint as I try to see the unseen
Far away lies mysteries and secrets just waiting to be discovered
Across the way, past merging paths
The unexplored destination remains in the shadowy distance
Seasons flash before my eyes
The first frost
Discolored breaking leaves
Soft drops of rainfall
The stress of which path to take chills me to the bone
Like a winter's breeze
The curiosity of the next step sends a shiver down my spine as I wonder
Where the road will take me.

This poem was written about a human standing at the beginning of a desolate dirt road, wondering where it leads.
