Shadowlands Poem by Lors Dilouley

i see a path hidden by darkness.
i move along the road slowly,
but hoping that i am going in the right direction nevertheless.

when all of a sudden,
a streetlight appears in the distance.
as i pull closer, my road is exposed more and more
until i can see which way i am going.

i pass by, thankful for its guidance
and cautiously look ahead back into the darkness.

trust is the way,
and the road is narrow.
too many others have stopped,
afraid of the dark and the unknowns it held.

but i am a sojourner.
i have no choice than to move my way along.
a gypsy traversing between shadowlands
hoping that one day the rest of my path
will be shown to me in full.
