A man stands in front of a forest. There are two paths leading into the forest. One path is well-worn and easily visible. The other path is overgrown and not as defined.

Unless we walk upon the unexplored path,
Never will we know what adventures
Elude us.
X marks the point of departure.
Pulse quickens as we approach.
Every decision has consequences.
Could this be the day
That life changes forever?
Enchantment lies in the unknown.
Do we choose the unpredictable or stay the course of certainty?

Taking off my mask to write about what matters to me. I enjoy connecting with other writers/authors/poets.
