Embraced
A free verse poem
Towards the beginning of a journey on a rocky mountain, the cloud-covered sky sends a signal not to embark. Yet, the adventurers wandered to take (a leap of) faith-
with brave hearts to brace the challenging task, to scramble the efforts of the past failures to lurk inside their heads and move forward on the step stones,
while shifting within the caved walls, beneath the vast horizon of the earth, and shadowed stone reflected their shadows. In contrast, the adventurers are red-winged to move to the heavenly paths.
Charcoal layered illusions might blind them, in the blade stone paths, while the hidden emerald glow in the leaked afternoon trying to hide the sunlight, on the gullible effort of the rocky-shaped stone-cold body, pushing the exposed confusions and smoked alternative routes.
With the amber embraced the dark-less future, what’s ahead of them? They don’t know; I don’t know either.
