Follow the light, don’t stray into the d

Follow the light, don’t stray into the dark, A gentle breeze nudges softly at your back. It means you’ve chosen the canvas’s true slant, Everything’s smooth, but you’ve got to act. Don’t slip, don’t fall, don’t give away Foolish signals to those who trail our way. Slippery topics won’t carry you, they’ll lure To tangled thickets where magic won’t endure. There, in the unknown exhales of the void, Someone’s placed commas and dots, well-deployed. Strictly by rule, yet they’ve frozen once more, Harsh words in vain, clashing, stuck at the core. Better to shun the sounds of stale, worn notes, Back where they play without a trace of regret— Hymns and marches, penned by the universe’s debt. Just keep on walking; ahead, it’s still dark, I bet.
