Untitled MAG
Here, then, I stand.
Ahead of me, a long road.
A road of all that is good.
A road of all that is bad.
A road of everything and nothing
Here, then, is the path.
The winding stones stretch
into the beyond.
Stretching through bright fields
of memories.
Stretching through the murky undergrowth of the future.
Stretching through then and now.
Here then, lay the cairns.
The weather-beaten signs stand.They stand, bearing heartfelt messages.
They stand, engraved with
incomprehensible sigils.
They stand, meaning everything and nothing.
Here then, I walk.
I set my foot down, and begin
to step.
Step through the undergrowth
Step through the clouds.
Step through the highs and lows,
until one day, I will see
the brightest darkness.

Untitled is about the ephemeral and the ethereal, the certain past and the uncertain future, as one person reflects on the road in front of them.
The lack of a title is deliberate: First impressions are everything, and by leaving the first impression a blank slate, the reader is free to project their own experiences to the work.
