off-roading it

ruts in a road
have never deterred me
something worthy or merely tempting glimpsed
however briefly
has always lured me
a rat unable to resist
the music of the piper

too often what waited
at the end of those roads
has been misery or worse
fool's gold disguised as treasure
a cul-de-sac of disappointment
a forced march back
to where i started

these days my lacks
line up in military rows
stern soldiers standing stiffly at attention every morning
at the foot of my bed
awaiting my inspection

but i
lackluster general at best
ignore them
too many roads to map
all mined with humiliation
uncertainty
self-doubt
all intersecting in a circle
of impossibility
i am as yet unfitted to command
that portion of my life

instead i wander
not aimless but with no clear direction
ears stoppered
to the melody of madness
the hidden piper plays
i stay in open fields
resisting roads into dark woods
or penned enclosures

i do not know what form
the thing i seek will take
it is nothing to be seen
i must trust i'll recognize it when i feel it
it is no tangible reward that calls me
i'm looking for a heart to come home to
