A friend of mine has folded to fear.

Afraid of what will happen if they make a leap.

However, their current trajectory shows an increasingly dismal outlook.

I tried to point to the road ahead; they didn’t see it.

Instead of explaining what I saw, I wish I would have asked a question, so they could think for themselves.

So they could look to the destination their path lead.

So they could read the road ahead.
