Poem 20- The Fork In The Road

I see it there at the bottom of the hill, the fork in the road. 

Into the woods and uncertainty both paths lead, from the fork in the road.

The path I want might not be the best one for me, at the fork in the road. 

I look for clues but none can be found, near the fork in the road.

The day is passing and my time grows short, at the fork in the road.

I have made my decision and chosen my path, past the fork in the road.  

Poem 19- The Beast

The beast is there, I can sense his essence.

High above the tree line, I feel his presence.

I ready my snare, for the prize I seek is near.

However, I can't ignore the fear.

My head grows tired, and my legs weak.

I press on, for the journey is not for the meek.

The beast is wounded, I can see its tracks.

But it continues to travel, away from the packs.

Into the high country, I continue to travel.

Through waves of earth, sand, and gravel.

Against me, my obstacles and challenges stack.

And I wonder, if I will ever get my heart back.
