When the ramblings began

On a dark, lonely night
I set out to write
One step at a time
Carefully treading my thoughts
As stray branches of words
Tapped my shoulders now and then
And I groped around for meaning
To set me back on trail
For I was lost in unknown lands
Covered with myriad misty ideas
And I wrote on
Not sure where I was heading
But who cared
The journey was so exciting...
