How many chances do we get in life to become who we really want to be...
but how hard is it to surrender the life we know to take that desired step?
The path not taken
I came to this place
To escape a life
That seemed to have me in chains
My work too
A constantly evolving source of
Tiredness, stress & strain
She shook my life
To my surprise
One year to this very day
She touched me deeply
Right to my soulI
In a wild and untamed way
Dark skin against the sun
She spoke to me
Through her hands
In rhythm and rhyme
With her place in time
Amongst those golden sands
Dancing in the dunes past midnight
Playing all day in the sea
Deep in her eyes was a story in time
A brave new world to me
She spun me willing
In that web
For five amazing days
She showed
How simple life can be
With her culture and her ways
When the time had come
For me to leave
I just up'd and walked away
And why
I didn't write or call
I don't know to this day
Dancing in the dunes till midnight
And dreaming the hours away
Brought to me an inner peace
Not known up to those days
Her visage against the sun
My thoughts I can 't allay
I toss and turn in bed at night
My mind it tricks and plays
Lying in the dunes till morning
Night breezes on bodies bare
And feeling yes somehow feeling
That she would always always be there
So ...
Will I go to her again
Or am I made to pay?
For failing to do
That something new
With the path not taken that day
