That's Not What Paths Do

(They never stray from you)

Just finding the path

Can be hard enough

But returning to it

Is often more tough

Once you have found it

You should stick to it true

For if you don't leave it

The path won't leave you ...

That's not what paths do

I use to love to wander. I free-climbed every mountain from Big Sur to Washington State.

Thank you so much. That pair of lines, despite closing the poem, were the foundation of it. ~Jim
