Life's Path

A woodland path, in the dappled sun, hushed and quiet,
embraces, yet feels free.   

As playful shadows dance in natures sweet breath,
amid whispers of the trees.

Wandering as it will, nowhere in particular,
for in life, its pattern weaves.

Steeped in ancient ambiance, rebirth at every turn.
Rejuvenation, my soul conceived
