New Adventures

New Adventures

The thing about life

Is that you never know

When you're about to start

A new adventure

Some have prescribed beginnings

Going to school

Getting married

Starting a new job

But once you've begun

You don't know exactly

Where you're going to end up

Nor how you're going to get there

You may have an idea

Of the final destination

But sometimes you end up

Somewhere

Completely off the map

And that's not always

Such a bad thing

I have been taking the same path 

For years

But I'm about to branch off

Onto a new one

It's scary

But also exciting

The forest is not dark

But inviting

And I'm ready

For this new adventure

To begin
