Finding my way...

I hear a voice inside

It persuades me to abide

By every will untold

To change into a pot of gold

I head towards a pretty road

That unscathed welcomes me aboard

It shows me the path ahead

That I could have easily missed instead

I feel the wind pass by

It halts to rest with a sigh

I ask if all it does is just blow?

It answers: “Just the way you deserve it - Either crazy, fast or slow!”

Still unsure, I sit under a tree for sometime

Which beneath it’s shade makes me feel sublime

It knows I’m lost and gently points the way

I get up and tread on in the direction it did sway

I realize that there’s  a storm coming

I waste no time and keep running

I yell, asking why upon me it had to befall

It winks back saying: “To show you your destination to which you need crawl.”

Puffing  and panting I climb up high and dry

Thunder and lightning tear open the skies to cry

Shivering I look around as the rain hits my face

Only to see the trail ahead wiped out without a trace

I wait in silence for some calm

Hugging myself with bare white knuckled palms

A wandering mind quenched by the roar within

Comes to a standstill as I understand it’s true rhythm

It’s all bright now, as if the gale and squall had ceased to exist

I soak myself in the sunbeam impossible to resist

The sun smiles at me as I sense the truth upon me dawn

I’d never have reached so far if it weren’t for the wind and rainstorm.
