Is There No End To This Road

.
on the path of light
a patch of shade
shall I dwell a moment
in respite
and familiarity
playing shadow games
with memories

or shall I don
my heliotropic sunglasses
bare the harsh awakenings
and walk beyond
trailing shadows
until "that which is not known"
releases me

pacing
a circular rut of indecision
as if I really had a choice

I think you have an errant 'e' in releases..I loved the beginning of this, it reminded me of Plath and that slightly dark but very vivid imagery. I thought it kind of lost its way in the last stanza with the use of the colloquial 'balls' lol but it's my opinion..I just enjoyed the first two stanza's very much.

Well I like it better, still perhaps needs that 'aha' moment but as it's in draft stage I am sure you will find the perfect ending :)
