You Are Here








The title says it is your life
Such as it is – the roads use to lead everywhere
And yet, you are here.
Where the crossroads always ask
“Now where?”

The contours show the heights you have gone
And too, describe the points when life
Went so low –
Only the oceans could understand its depths
Nevertheless, the color scheme does include swatches of green too!

The legend lists the many things that were important:
Childhood toys left behind in a wooden box;
A red dog collar of the best friend ever;
Blue track meet medal for 1st place;
A wedding picture that now seems so antique;
A baby picture that makes you smile and pain at once;
An old love poem written when the heart was still young.

The scale has changed now as the road lines seem unclear.
What was once a short distance to somewhere; to anywhere
Are now daunting and so hard to see the way there.
What is the measure for doubt?
Where does it end?
