Both Sides of the Road

The dogs are barking loud and the universe is getting ready to shout
The rain is beating heavily on the roof and there is nothing left to prove; they have
Been waiting at the gate with their bags and pans to embark on a mission that they
Don’t understand but with courage in their feet and strength in their knees they embark
On a journey that has to be. Walk on both sides of the road when you are in doubt, walk
 on both sides of the road when you don’t understand the terrain and your resources are
 drain; both sides are slow but the other is on the go, they are not hard to understand but 
Sometimes they confuse the common man. When you land on the shore you will 
Understand more, the people are kind but trust only the divine, your heart can deceive
you but nature will appease you. Walk on both sides of the road when the galaxy is 
turning about. The road to peace is embedded in the East, so walk on both sides of the 
road and mingle with the breeze. The line is thin so count the spaces within and mark the spot
with a delightful grin. They are ready to go so that you can grow, they are ready to go so that 
the east and the west can come together and allow destiny to do the rest. Stretch your hands
across the sea and rescind the decree, knock on every door and join the entire penguin for the
 evening mass on the eastern shore. Walk on both sides of the road when “chaos” departs 
through the back door.
