The Wrong Move..

alone i walk in shimmering wonder
the fog of uncertainty clinging close
though inside my options show clear
burning truth through all the shadows.

each choice swirls about my cautious mind
teasing with visions and fantasies wild
and i, swayed easily
venture deathly close to the edge of my precipice.

how could such solitary thoughts create such chaos?
i beg to know the truth of my actions
where does it all lead, and where am i going
and how would a sudden change effect the future..

deciphering between each provoking question, tempt,
my hands reach out for that vision in my dreams.
it seems so close, so promising and true,
and risking it all, i jump.

but falling, i realize my presumptions and guesses
were anything but correct, and the fog slips away.
the reality coming faster at me, my body accelerating to the end,
i cry a single tear...for what could have been..but you weren't there...
