Write in the park Day 10 — a sonnet
A long uncertain trail before you lies
Through a bamboo forest it does wind
Rays of sunlight shines through from the sky
You step forward and leave your past behind
Each shoot of bamboo a day in life you've spent
An accomplishment or mistake you have made
Your deeds or misdeeds the bamboo represent
Kind or cruel words that you have said
Joys or sorrows that you have been through
A memory that you cannot forget
Happy moments, times of sadness too
Feelings of satisfaction or regret
The bamboo forest never leaves your view
You don't take the trail, it is taking you.
