The Path

Sometimes we stumble upon the secret steps

Cobbled and overgrown

Hidden

Amidst the twists and turns

Of this life.

And, when the path is taken

Each teetering, tottering step

Will bring you closer still

To the one

Who stumbles upon the same path

From the other side.

If you should turn back in fear

And let anxieties tether

Choke you from this wondrous journey

Then you should never know

Who’s path may cross your own

And where

The path would lead you both

Together.

Outstanding, the theme of this poem opened me up for what might be. This moved sweetly and painted a vibrant and oh so real picture of what unsuredness might surrender to those who do turn back, not facing the dreams they have kept so long. I like your style and thought process.

Thank you. I have often been told I have a unique style of writing, that there is a cadence to my words that moves one forward. Including in my non-poetry pieces.

Someday I look forward to experiencing some of you non-poetry work.

very nice allegory in the path you describe. you just never know what's around the next curve.
