Unexpected
Folder:
Life I know the road I walk
Each and every stone
The pattern of branch above
All the leaves the wind has blown
I know the ruts I tread
The ditch along the edge
How the light blasts into shadow
The twilight through the hedge
These things, these patterns calm
For me this is certainty
So imagine my deep surprise
When I found them not to be
As if I looked up for the first time
On a long and dreary walk
The landscape all around me
Not the familiarness I stalk
And being lost brought no fear
Being far from all that is dear
Just a shock that into me seared
Made me look deeply again at wyrd
Yes, which bend in the road am I on
Unexpected, to say the least
And I knew not this path had a fork
Though all roads on a traveler feast
Shall I stop now treading back and safe
Back through those hills I know
Or keep moving forward and onward
Through my unfamilar foe
