The Write Path Story
Poem
~ One Path ~
In the beginning, there is only one path It is yours Stepping with confidence, there is no reason to question Still comes a simple doubt And since it seems of no consequence, you walk a stranger’s path. The new pathway is alien You are out of step And other voices clamor for attention “Try my way!” “No, mine!” Each promises to answer the quintessential questions - “Who am I?” “Where am I going?” “What do I believe?” Your road twists, contorts, divides Your path becomes a labyrinth of confusion. Then one day You catch sight of something vaguely familiar A friendly taste A native scent Your ears recall a melody A compelling voice begs you to follow This path is new, yet somehow familiar and You begin the journey home.
