The Path

The Path

A Poem by Patricia
"

an interesting take on an old cliche?

"

 

The Path
 
 
I have walked the path unchosen
I have spoke the words not spoken
as on the dusty, rain-drenched nights
of early spring or late in autumn.
 
I have passed along the rivers
the city’s hidden rivers
deep beneath its pavement floors
while the raindrops hit the streets;
splash down only on concrete.
 
And from my hidden window
the lighted bridges sing:
come and try to walk that path
that is yet unknown to any man
come and yet discover where all of this began
 
And I try to find this path unchosen,
and leave behind the new formed roads
made of only flimsy man-made things, devoid of any depth
so, I slide along the solid pebbles,
and try to find where I belong.

Beautiful and inspiring are the words I have for this poem. Everybody is searching for their path and where they belong. Some of us do walk the path unchosen but I truly believe it is so we can speak the words unspoken...someone must be strong enough to do so. Just remember the path your on is your destiny. It will bring sadness and joy; get mad at it when you must but don't fight it because it will take you to where you are meant to be...
