Stuck On A Trail

Stuck On A Trail

A Poem by Dilan Gray
"

4/04/11 - I was walking on a trail last night and got almost 2.75 miles out and it started raining. I thought of this poem on the walk back.

"

I don't know what to do,

or which way I should go.

Should I run there,

or walk really slow?

I'm halfway down a trail

unsure if I should turn back.

I do not want my

final decision to lack.

On top of my indecision

it has now started to rain.

I'm caught in the middle

and all I'm feeling is pain.

I need to move in one

direction or another.

I need to finally choose,

not just run for cover.

Which way will bring me

to my happy ending?

I think this way

will bring me the sun.

Will my trek be dangerous?

Will I skip and have fun?

Does the direction even matter?

Or can I go either way?

All I know is I don't want

to be cold and wet another day.

So choose, back to the past

or walk something new.

I don't want to be stuck here,

a change of weather is overdue.

As a sometimes backpacker, I like this poem. You bring about a quandary that many face, not only on the trail but in life. I try my best to push on, finish it. Misery seems to crush those feeling and make you want to escape. Enjoyable work. CD

I liked the use of an uncertain walk along a trail as a metaphor for the indecision we sometimes feel about the right direction for our life. Very clever.

That was really good, Gwen. You always come up with something new, but just as good as the last one. I felt that this was really engaging and left many questions to be answered about what people want to do with their life. It was thoroughly enjoyable and something everyone should definitely have a read at.
