Saphire Dream

 

The swirls of light poke out

from underneath the clouds,

teasing me with each smile and giggle,

"Listen to your heart."

comes the whispers in the wind,

"It's time to begin again."

The cool air brushes my hair gracefully across my shoulder,

Then, as quickly as it came, it was gone,

but it's message still lingers on in my head.

"Listen to your heart."

As I run down the foggy path,

blue mist rises over my eyes,

when I see again,

I see a fork in the road,

a man with two faces appears before it.

One hand points me down the left road,

one down the right,

I do not know what to do,

which path to choose.

The one on the left is rocky and wooded,

but the other is clear and bright.

"They may not be as they appear, but make your choice"

whispered a voice.

"Come to me,"

"No me."

The faces argue in front of me,

wanting me to go down their path,

but which is right,

which one to choose.

Will I los myself in this maze?

Is this the right way?

The blue mist shadows over my eyes once more,

and it opens a door I never saw before.

Deep in the wooded place,

the fork in the road,

it held a brightness I had not seen,

"So, follow the path you have chosen."

the voices of the two faces combine and fade

away as they and they and the other path dissappear.

I hesitate but follow down the path

and open the brightly lit door,

the door that wasn't there before,

That led me down the dark, wooded path,

the one path that had been a challenge,

I have chosen.

I will be a part of this place forever,

it is my heart,

it is my choice,

and I will never follow that steady beating drum

that pulled me toward the easy path,

Take in my risks,

Like I just did with the two-faced man.

"Come along,"

the voice beckoned me in.

I shake my head ever-so slightly and smile a knowing smile.

"Come and choose again my dear,

play our game."

But I hop into the abyss ready to find myself,

finally,

I awaken.
