Open To Me

The street is dark and cold,

only the street lights brighten the road tonight,

thoughts racing through my mind,

cold air rushes across my face,

my feet echo into the dark,

pounding in my ears,

running from my fears,

toward the endless possibilities the future holds,

the air straining in my lungs,

the blood raging through my veins,

but still the street stretches on,

enticing me to move forever forward,

urging my mind to release all doubt,

let fate take control,

give myself to the road,

let it take me where it will,

no one to witness my lone race into the night,

my only opponent  my own mind,

in the race to understanding and contentment.
