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.
