A Walking

entry picture

Walk forward, into the light my friends,
Ignore the whispers from the darkness behind,
We have a choice on which path we choose to meet our end,
Make that choice without prejudice and with a clear mind,
Life is, “A walking,” and the direction we choose is ours to make alone,
But listen to the counsel of the wise and use it to choose right,
Because in the end your choices are the only thing you can truly own,
So own them proudly, and walk forward to the light.

Thanks Po, I've really struggled to write at all recently so that means a lot. I think our choices are the only thing we can ever truly own 100%, everything else comes and goes.
