All of the Right Signs

I couldn't decide what was right..
My head needed to be cleared
Down, I walked this long, lonely path
Trying to seek an answer.

The voices in the wind, whispered secrets
The leaves within the trees, rustled hints
The sound of the peaceful, flying birds, tried to lead the way but
I failed to follow.

The clouds above me, tried to spell out the words
The creatures around me, grasped for my attention
The rain that poured, attempted to drown out all of the wrongs but
I was blinded by my desires.

Although all of the right signs were before me,
I stopped dead in my tracks,
Took a deep breath,
And went the other way...
