A Path Unknowable


A Path Unknowable

every thought we harbour
every choice we make 
can lead us on a journey
we’re not sure we should take

for roads in life are mostly
unknowing of journey’s end
and the merest deviation
another fork or bend

is always waiting somewhere 
as surely as the day
an impasse an uncertainty
a questioning of the way

though the pathways that we’re taking
may seem that they are fated
each decision is a conscious one
not randomly created

know the road you travel
has been walked upon before
by others who have passaged
seen what lies behind each door

wherever you may journey
to whatever you aspire
keep close all those who know your heart
safe haven when you tire

Wazza

Those are very kind words Maria and very much appreciated. I do hope that your experience with false friends has not caused you too much grief on the journey back home. It certainly hasn't diminished your talent for poetic writing. Wazza

I love your version of The Path Unknowable Wazza. How true are your words...' wherever you may journey to whatever you aspire keep close all those who know your heart safe haven when you tire'. They say in tough times you really get to know your friends. Sadly we have found that out in the last few years. That's what my poem was about. The path well travelled always lead back home. I truly enjoyed your poem. You're a great writer...Hugs
