SYMMETRICAL

As the the clouds covered the sky

hesitation comes in.

Much to my dismay, 

I can see the path I am about to take 

is darker. 


And so I turn to other directions, 

To my surprise, I saw people heading the opposite journey barefoot, 

With much smaller than me, yet bravely making their walk. 


As if the sight I saw was sufficient enough to comfort me, 

I took a deep long breath and started the journey.


Noticeably, as I go farther the steps become harder to take. 

But despite the occasional hurdle along the way I continue walking. 


As I follow the path, the people before me that have walked the road have in a way made the way clearer, and wider as if preparing me for the easy travel. 


There were shades and provision for seating in case I needed to stop and rest.

While I managed my phase, those ahead of me were in a hurry. 

So I got curious, once more I turned at the back. 


There were dozens walking symmetrically towards my direction. 

However, I noticed that as I pause, most of them also cease from moving. 


I have forgotten how long I have been traveling

But I could see from where I am 

that the sky is much clearer compared to when I was about to take the step. 


But while I could not tell what can be expected in between the journey, 

as the clouds would come and go,

It is also good to know you are not alone.

 

Hence, I realized why not enjoy the walk. 

Take pride in the beauty of moment, 

Do not worry on things that is not present, rather let things unfold before you

For you may not be able to witness the same road you are traveling now.
