Guidance

Following the path that leads no where is the best thing to do.
You see that flowers and trees you would have missed on the highway.
You breathe the sweet breeze from the fields or the salt from the ocean.
You taste the spicy and filling foods that never have passed your lips hadn't you
Followed the past that leads no where.  
The path will take you but not too fast you must enjoy the little things before you go.
Once you've seen all the sights your memory can keep vibrant and alive.
Once your breathing is done and the salty sweet air no longer tickles your nose.
Once a new spice or dish can't tempt your tongue or makes you hunger no more.
The path will take you to the place you should be.
