Which Path Do You Choose?

Golden eyes stare at you from beyond Yonder

Icy wind

cracks and crazes the enamel

of nearby trees

whose leaves never grow

no matter the season

their branches bare of any fruit

As if condemned by God

All the while

Crows sit on their doomed branches

and silently stare at you

In the distance lies mysterious man

with deep, gut-wrenching looking scars on his face

And he's carrying an ax

Which path do you choose?

The one that leads to the Golden eyes,

the one where hundreds of Crows silently stare at me,

or the one where the mysterious man with the ax awaits me

Too late to turn back

Which path do you choose?

Which path do you choose?
