long road home


the long narrow road
stretches out before me.
is that a curve up ahead
or perhaps a hill's crest?

dip down, curve around
whither i go thither and yon.
pray tell me, if you know
what awaits me down the road?

on the road i'm bounded in
both from the left and the right.
tall trees, thick greenery
are both guard and prison.

and i'm bound once more
both from above and below,
by unyielding hard earth
and unreachable stretching sky.

there are only two choices:
continue forward or turn back.
the secret of the choosing
is that there really is no choice.
