Premium Member Path To Peace
I have fought through incredible things
Trauma and all kinds of life experiences 
One may think peace comes to one easy
But it doesn’t, as the years I have witnessed
Faith kept me going and my fight for survival
Staying authentic no matter what the issue is
Also what I...

THE PATH WELL TRAVELLED.

Two paths diverged, and I was thrown by doubts I had never known
To my left, thickly overgrown, was a path to dismal dimness prone.

To my right, a lovely sight-fragrant flora flamed in light
Forms so graceful, beauty rare, a...

My Path
Desire strong as the concrete beneath my feet
Missteps hinder my stride along a winding course
Signs clearly marked  "Proceed With Caution"
Muscles scream to try something new
Never knowing what direction to turn
Exhausted I throw caution to the wind
Gasping in the air with trepidation
Running as fast and...

Premium Member The Path I'M On
Nights once brought such pleasant dreams
But the sweet memories no longer exist
As persistent nightmares continue to insist
Those dreamy-nights never belonged to me.

Searching for meaning of this dubious feeling
I surmise it emanates from spurious instincts
Residing where he once held my throne 
Refusing to depart from the...

Premium Member Stoic Path of Virtue
Written: October 28, 2023
              _________________________________________

Among the living is where perfection is found.
Stoicism is a path of life that acts as dull ground.
The advice is to focus on the bright side of life.
Dispel...

Premium Member Dante's Path
Oh seed of Dante, dost thy path
in mid-life's turning gone astray
upon a sylvan darkness hath
to tread a rut with feet of clay?

Wast thou that youth of virtue pure
who bargained not with Judgment Day
untempered green convictions sure
before life's tests induced decay?

Didst compromise and circumstance
thy dreams of...

Premium Member Woodland Path
Fae circles of mushrooms
Lanky yellow toadstools
Firm jelly tot larvae 
Feed from rich stagnant pools.
Fungal disks cling with wanton 
To the grey trunks of trees
Cricket strums join to bird song
Sending messages of peace.

Lambent beams break through foliage
Gradient tones tint the scene
Yellow, purple, and whites
showcased by backgrounds...

Premium Member Forest's Path
Into slithered path of forest green

my imprints mark a search for peace,
as bushes hide like shades unseen

where vines’ fragrance holds its release.

Drained, I see life through a flower 

struggling to curl among meshed weeds,
these limbs falling on ash of hours

like old willows bound to concede.

Enduring...

Premium Member A Blind Man's Path
Towards this world I am ambivalent.

Seeking not for retribution 

but focusing on clarity of mind.

One may have a tenuous grasp on  reality 

and still, achieve this.

For a blind man in the fog 

has the same chance as the sighted.

Self-reliance and intuition are his eyes.

As...

Walk On the Path of Love
Walk on the path of love
by your very soul.
Listen to the laughter of your heart 
alone..
Feel in the sweet sound of the light steps of love
sashaying in your whole
alone..
Bathe in the warm flow of love
till your soul is suffused with beauty.
Let your love be enshrined...

Premium Member Goethe's Path
Today I have the wish to wander.

Down Goethe’s path I choose to go
with a world of thought to ponder.

Where I might end up - I do not know.


I meander with a little stream.

All around me, myriads of trees
stand like seers; serene and sage they seem.

The...

Premium Member Goethe's Path
I once stepped into a labyrinth, that grew upon the crest

The unraveled trail through silver pines, where ferns and grasses wept,
Where birdsongs rose, from scattered boughs, and echoed to the west

Moss grew to warm each foot with jade, while solemn trees had slept
--

I remember how...

As I Walk Hard Narrow Path, Dust In My Mouth

I walk hard narrow path, dust in my mouth
Just a poor farm-boy, born in the dear South,
With edges slippery and turns so quick
Oft so weary, too often so damn sick.

Trudging on through, into midnight's dark cast
Praying...

To My Younger Self
When dawn’s bright light reveals your dreams with endless scope,
Embrace each day with courage, let your heart find hope.
The path ahead may test you, challenge all your might,
But stand with strength and honor, let your spirit light.

In times of doubt and sorrow, when your strength...
