There’s a cost either way.
One road left, another right.
One takes you up, the other down.
You must choose.
For now.
Later you can circle back
and try the other.
If it’s still there.
Either way
You’ll find beauty,
growth, expanse, adventure.
Open your eyes.
Breathe it in.
Give thanks.
Make a choice.
The price of entry
is worth it.
Ooooh, this reads so mysteriously at first and then a bit magically. I like the abrupt lines: “You must choose. / For now.” and “If it’s still there.” I like the turn on ‘you can turn back’ with the “if” condition – maybe/maybe not. Nicely captured here.
