Future Destination

Into the darkness
with stretched out arms

Scarcely breathing
with secure steps

Steadily approaching
what may not be known

Dizzying thoughts
corrupt aching intentions

screams of past failures
lure from behind

steps become shuffles
confusion lurks ahead

catching balance
before a tailspin

eyes shut to the deepness
filtering emotions and memories

soft feathery touches
mark memories of decision

agony of perseverance
dropped out of sight

eyes wide open
sure footed

destination intended
toward the envisioned future
