caught in the balance

I am caught
by the options

paused
at the fork in the road

one leads back to where I began; flat and wide
the other climbs steeply
with the promise of a view

what lies beyond that mountaintop?

a promised land?
or will I climb arduously
only to look back and realize
the beauty of where I was?

I close my eyes
and take that leap
for the first step is the hardest.
