to stay or to go?

funny how a song I

once belted from the

top of my lungs - 

pure six-year-old child, who

could have no 

proper comprehension of such a

way of feeling torn

between two directions - 

no clear indication as to 

which is the better option

of the two;

has now become the

most prevalent question in her

current state of affairs - 

should I stay or

should I go?

//

if I go, I might be in

peace - 

if only for a moment or two

but if I stay, I might soar

as high as this free-flying raven, who

on this day of wind, 

surrenders to an 

invisible force

where would you take me,

Universe - 

if I learned to let go and

released all control?

if I became a raven of my own, and

wings spread wide,

went with the ever-changing tide of

life;

what then, would you provide?

//

answers I'll never have,

unless I finally submit

but if there's anything I've 

learned in these

recent rollercoaster years - 

when torn between two choices and

not a clue of what to do

there's reason for indecision - 

likely, there's nothing you must do

but to have faith as you wait

clouds of confusion 

will be cleared, and

as they are

over yonder,

on the horizon, 

a third option will

ever so slowly

begin to appear

//

once it registers 

in your vision

all indecision will, 

in an instant,

disappear

tread slowly and 

lightly, my dear

your golden opportunity is

nearly here
