A new poem by adam... i loved it so much i had to post it here too. what do you think of it?



I'm standing on the corner, the rain pouring down on me

Two roads
One short, the other long
Both looking hard
Both with their own obstacles

As I look down the short road I see a crowd
Faceless people which seems too busy to notice
Too busy to see what's inside

I then look down the long road
The road itself look bumpy, with detours and not very pleasant at all
But in the this crowd of faceless people I notice a face
That face!

It's smiling, filling me with warmth and hope

The rain continues to pour down
Which way to take?
Short or long?

I take another look at the long road
Then close my eyes and in the core of my heart a picture appears
That smile, that face

I walk slowly, led only by the beating in my bossom
Where does it want to take me?

I fall several times from the bumps and holes in the road
I'm okay, I am still able to continue

My chest feels warmer and warmer by each step forward
My heart overflowing

I feel fatigued
I hurt a little here and there
But I do not feel lost

I feel that something is stoping me
I slowly open my eyes, trying to adjust to the light

There she is, looking up at me with that smile of hers.
Shining brighter than any star

Who found who?
