What does your future hold? Will the answers jump off the page?

 

And will you understand them, if they do? You want to bury your head in the sand, but know in your heart you must take the . . .

 

 

Journey Into The Unknown

 

At last, with free time available, you breathe a sigh of relief.

A book you’ve longed to read calls your name.

The silent voice summons you, so you mosey over to the shelf.

With book in hand, you crash into your armchair in the living room.

Opening it, words flow from the page.

Startled by their presence, you wonder what they mean.

 

Are they sending a message of what your future holds?

Do you do what they say or just ignore them?

And, if you do, what are the consequences?

Waves of insecurity roll through your body.

Without a lifejacket, are you meant to survive?

You drift to the end of the page and . . .

 

On the edge of your seat, you know what they’re telling you.

But fiction or reality, you’re unable to determine.

Do you enter the realm of pure imagination or answer the doorbell?

The what? You roll out of the chair and head to the door and pull it open.

Standing before you, a woman in a red dress and high heels smiles.

And the story of the rest of your life begins to unfold.
