The Road Ahead

The road ahead is the road taken
The road ahead is a thoroughfare,
Preferred after a well thought of
Prolonged deliberation, no short cuts,
No ambivalent paths, nothing to bypass,
Only to bypass the impasse,
The road of the past , uncertain,
Despair creeping into me,
I had to traverse the zig zag path,
full of meanderings , pell mell,
the road of the wilderness laid,
thimbles and thistles, pricking me,
the road past leads to the present,
to the distinct future, future of clarity.
