New Beginnings

 

Standing irresolute at the crossroads
Don’t know which path to choose
Trying to figure out my niche
By searching for hidden clues

Walking along this unknown path
No idea where I stand
Searching for a familiar face
Someone to hold my hand

Should I take the path which seemed right
And just follow the crowd?
But there will be no individuality
Of which I can be proud

Or, should I take the path which was left, by many,
Where I may stumble and fall
But these would be the experiences
I can later, proudly recall

Suddenly the fog from my mind vanishes
The path I must follow is crystal clear
If needed, I will tread my path alone
Cause now I have no fear

Head held high, fearlessly, I will leave
My own footprints in the sand
With God by my side, to lift me up
From any pitfalls I may land

So, after the darkness, came the sunlight
Spreading its beckoning, warm hue
Inviting me, exhorting me,
To take the first step and begin my life anew.

 

First Steps

Empty head on my shoulders
A vacuum instead of a brain,
No thoughts to flow in and out
No feelings to be drained.

So, starting a new journey
No apprehension or anxiety
Will take my first steps forward
Along with a brain, with no clarity.
