Signs

Wild thoughts 
Encounters 
Some unknown
Some familiar
make me wander
make me walk 
endlessly 
searching for clues
looking for signs 
that show the way
that the road leads here 
that the road leads nowhere
that this turn is risky 
that the road is uphill
that valley is deadly 
and this one leads to  
to a river that flows
and flows and flows

Groping in the dark 
looking for the signs
they are right here
hidden somewhere
they told me to look out  for them
that its easy once you get there
they told me that  its so very clear 
that once you see 
then you just know

But
then I must be blind 
to what beckons me
or the signs that reveal
they may be lost
or in a language 
that I never learned
or in words that I 
cannot decipher 
In a mystery that
I havent yet discovered
