The Vast Unknown

Behind me lies a route of confusion.
Why that course has ended is unknown.
Sometimes I wish I didn’t have to journey that way.
But that is where the signs have directed me.

The path I have chosen is no longer an option.
But I can’t go back. I can only go forward.
With the knowledge I have gained along the way.

I see no signs indicating which way to turn.
Ahead lies an unfamiliar path.
One I never intended to take.

All I can do is step forward into the vast unknown.
With my flashlight and my compass.
And hope the signs will appear in the distance,
Directing me forward until I am sure I'm on the right path.
