In the unknown direction, I tread
Where does this path lead
In the unknown direction, I tread
Dense and Dark, where
Deafening Silence Surrounds
Everything's engulfed in a foggy blanket
And I can see little - with my Eyes open Wide
"Where I am? Where I am?"
Twice I cried!
I waited - and Waited
Till the golden rays broke,
And little by little
The fog began to fade
I resumed my journey,
With Hopes High and Great Expectations
"For those desperate to reach destination
Will eventually find a way!"
About this poem
Those desperate to scale heights find a way even in deserted places.
