Decisions
Sitting on the
field, he looked up and watched the
Bright burning
bundles of fire fixed against a brilliant black sky.
He was at a
crossroads.
The world spun
around him.
Despite the
quietness, his mind spun like a hamster on a wheel as
He weighed his
life on an imaginary scale.
Life’s decisions
require time.
Solitude is
necessary to make wise choices.
On one side, he
imagined a grand mansion in a bustling urban setting.
Golden light leapt
from the windows
And filled the clear
night with flashes of blinding yellow and brilliant white.
The hustle broke
up the peace.
There was no quiet
and silence.
The colorful
lights were dazzling and distracting.
Brown, worn with
age, sentimental, dilapidated.
A hoe, a yoke,
and a tractor beckoned to him,
Simple but
peaceful, like twinkling stars
Hanging in the serene
sky.
The tranquility
pleased him.
Life is full of
decisions.
Some are more
difficult to make than others
But no matter
how tough,
Take time to
filter out the noises because
Peace and quiet
are necessary to make good choices.
