The wind has carried with it much--

Not only I, but some failures

and luck.

I ponder now

who I will trust,

and a decision is to be made soon.

It is a must.

To follow the love

that so wove its way deep,

Or to follow the path that

I pledged I would keep;

To run with full force

into a vast unknown,

Or to shield from the worst,

staying safe, but alone.

Now comes the time quickly

for the tide to be determined,

and I am eager for it,

ready, though a bit uncertain.
