Distracting Oasis



She continues on this journey with or without romance
The cards have already spoken so she takes another glance
At what has been taken and what she leaves behind
Nothing has improved has it all been wasted time
Could it be unspoken how she really doesn't feel
Her spirit won't be broken what her heart cannot reveal
Yet around her are enemy's hiding behind false truth
In front is still beginning the seeds have taken root
A misty path is followed alongside the mountain of sacred vision
Her steps are brisk the path is narrow the air is thin from lost decisions
Should she wait for the fog to lift to see what challenges hold there
Is this achievable or just a distracting oasis that leads her to no where
