The Wooded Path

It calls to me
Beckoning
A place unknown

A voice calls out
Whimsically
But I dare not follow

My sight lingers
On pastures greener
Than one has known

As daylight dances
Rhythmically
Inviting me once more

In the middle
The stump of an old willow
Waits patiently

All of them
Anticipating
The day of my arrival

From my place
I'll only stare
Too frightened to venture forward

This wooded path
I daily pass
Full view taken with one glance

I look no longer
Hesitantly
Making my departure

A day will come
Curiously
Submitting me to the wonder

The wooded path
Mesmerizingly
Haunts me

Until the day
Impatiently
I take one step closer

Surely then
The wooded path
Shall swallow me
Completely
