What Color Is the Road Ahead

All the lights ahead

Reveal not the journey’s end

But the beginning

A chance to step on

Forward to unexpected

Tunnels that don’t end

They are places to

Hide from all of the moments

Savor the moments

Be in the moments

Slip it into your pocket

Zip and throw the key

The lights are good things

Good things must lead to others

Let go of good things

Not paradise

Expectations, why expect?

Good things are burdens

Sure, necessary

For our growth but not

For our acceptance

And still, we must have

All these memories

Except we need not

Look in the pocket

To find memories of good

Look inside ourselves!

Look inside your mind

We must look in our hearts, too

Look inside ourselves!

Search the road ahead

Cars racing past the moment

The road underneath

And understand, please

The light you see as the end

Not quite the ending

But the beginning

You see, the light at the end

Is not truly real

Good things will come

But we can’t just look ahead

And see bad or good

See black or see white

We must try to understand

That the road ahead

Is red and orange and yellow and green and blue and indigo and violet, it’s true

The road ahead is different depending on you
