Pathless

Perceived to be pathless, the journey never began

Momentary panic held back the heart that wished to be in that distant shade

A particular day of melancholy and fractured prism displayed distortions

Dormant fear woke up to warn the feet of fabricated peril

Still there, the solitary heart gave up hope of bridging the chasm

The humble abode lost significance under the cover of intense fog 

A journeyer turned back without glancing back at the eager eyes

The door has been closed forever and the walls don’t remember anymore
