the story so far

poetry by daniel hurst

the things I could have seen

I've walked along the treaded trail
swam the swimmed sea
drove atop the driven road
and seen what was to see.

I've left behind the other path
and took the wider one - 
I choice I made in wisdom? or
A choice I should have shunned?

The man I am in wholeness asks,
the one I could have been,
the shadows of unlived self:
the things I could have seen.
Daily writing prompt
What sacrifices have you made in life?
