The Golden Fruit
I stood across a fallen branch
Deliberating the two pathways
I could keep walking the wretched path
Or perhaps stay still to never experience the wrath
But the path forward beheld the golden fruit
Yet the path I had followed could take me back to my roots
The idea seemed what frost had discovered
Yet it seemed in my life too bleak to be recovered
It's a one-way road
Dilemmas build,
Dilemmas grow
But what, oh what would my existence be if I never reimburse what I owed?
