Foresight...

Thoughts running through my mind,
Sights flashed across leaving me blind;
Along came a fork, and the signs whispered left or right...
And my prickled conscience said walk on straight...


She begged, beseeched…Its a quagmire that you'd find ahead,
But I trudged along paying no heed;
Racing down the trail came a white steed...
Beamed up and rose; With all its grandeur against the rising sun...

Mythical was its silhouette...
I knew the challenge that was up ahead of me..
Dreams…desire…Affections;Heaved out her amorous afflictions from my soul...
Her screams died and left my mind...

Flamboyant and radiant was the steed,
I was left gaping with awe...
Beckoning to follow, my diffident steps trailed on;
Between bushes..trees..dense forest..I treaded along...

Green surrounded me all around...
Birds chirped the sweet songs of sunrise...
Solace and calm filled my confused soul...
And pacified the deafening uproar that shrouded it for long...

Suddenly amidst the trees came a clearing...
And the cosmic horizon engulfed us in its serenity...
I could feel the clouds caress my outstretched hands..


And then I heard a familiar voice...

I turned around and found her...
The steed with its sinuous mane was gently prodding her comely face...
She whispered sweet nothings in its ear...
And them both plodded along towards the horizon..

Never to be seen again...
