the path

y path

yo path

you path

your path

down the path

down the path the deep sunken soil

down the path the deep sunken soil making a way to go

down the path the deep sunken soil making a door, opening a path

down the path the deep sunken soil making a way to go, opening a path to me.

venturing down

venturing down as the willows sway and the branches creak

venturing down as the willows sway and the branches creak and the fireflies join me as dusk sets

venturing down as the willows sway and the branches creak and the fireflies join me as dusk sets and eventually depart leaving me to keep going

and as the trail gets deeper roots grow in my way

and as the trail gets deeper roots grow in my way my path blocked

s t p h i o r n k s y

s t p h i o r stab me all over n k s y

turning around is not an option though

nor is giving in to my frustration

so I trek

my feet may sink

but this is the trail I chose.
