One Step Behind
One Step Behind
In between the crowded, rabbled woods,
I saw her gravely recall;
With infinite prospects crowding her mind,
She was dazzled with them all.
She looked around in all the paths
Inferring all to be pleasing,
She yet had to choose just a single
The one, the most amusing.
Bewildered and astonished
Perplexed she stood;
Bamboozled in between
All the roads good.
The trees were all green,
The woods all appealing.
The grass showcasing options bright
Fell closer to her, kneeling.
I saw her take a step behind,
I saw her walking back.
I saw her breathing calm in peace,
Sedating the greenest track.
I found a stillness in her soul,
When I decided to ponder;
Anxious with what would she do
My pulse began to wonder.
Which path would she choose
Which road would she take;
The woods were all amusing
But she had bonds to make.
I see her shut her eyes to sleep
And let her conscious loose;
Listening to the winds calling her,
So she gets to select her muse
.
All the routes did call her name,
But one had love to render;
It was then she recognised
The only woods embracing tender.
And now I see a content girl
Breathing in my reflections
Smiling at that one step backwards
Which led to all exceptions.
