Pathways

A Poem by Pete
"

"Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence." - Thoreau

Not knowing quite what to do.
Adam and Eve tried two.
Blazing for me and you.
Flying in the face.
Deep in the chase.
Holding an ace.
Making a case.
Winning the race.

Cannot overwhelm.
Not in his realm.
We may go astray
On the sun's ray.
Cooled by sea's spray.
The dawn always births a new day.
For which we stay.
The psalms yet pray ...
... there is a different way ...

Author's Note

Pete
“A single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.” - Thoreau
