Which path do I take?

I have been sort of sick most of the week. I've got something else on my list of ails:Vertigo, a balance problem which causes nausea, dizziness and a headache. It has settled and I am armed now with a few more pills lol So this morning quickly a poem for Poets United, with the prompt path

Which path do I take?

“Which path do I take, master?”

“What do you want to

find at the end?”

“On wealth and power

I have set my mind”

“Choose the path through 

concrete jungle 

success you will find” 

At the end, he wrote 

success on every

window of his room

People looked up to it but

it was just a spark in his gloom

“Master I want more,

which path do I take?”

“What do you want to find in the end?"

“I want to feel free,

I want give a part of me”

"Follow the path of mystery

share your riches along the way"

He took this path every day

One day they stole it all,
a dark glow coated his downfall

a lady found him, fed him, cradled him

with love and care in her shanty

which showed him the path of plenty

where you walk under 

the weeping willow

listen to the lost and lonely

where the river will 

collect the tears

and carries them 

to the pastures

to enrich the earth.

This was the day the rain 

knocked on his window

the sky broke open, and 

wrapped a bow of colours 

around a path 

starting from his door.

“Master why didn’t you show me that path first”

“Because you didn’t ask for it, my friend”
