No Outlet

Walk carefully upon this muddy road,
Lest quagmires snag,firmly grab hold.

No outlet is nearing end,
Lifes course running short,
Precious hearts to mend.

Trace steps closely ,avoid tiny cracks,
Ground feet firmly,lock on moral tracks.

Clear fallen brush, pave this rock filled pathway.
Followers share common visions commit to stay.

Voyages traveled desperately
No money to spend
No outlet will be destiny,
If character slips and absolutes are un tend.

Detours tempt ,promise to ease unrest,
Distractions coax to alternate roads,
Spirits set to test.

No outlets trick and confuse mapped routes
Final destination must be clear,without doubts.

Heed and abide boundaries of integrity,don`t stray,
Aiding,serving strangers whom enter each new day.

There is an outlet that can be found,
Journeys filled of peace and love so sound.

Unconditionally give every special gift
Encouragement smoothes bumps
Spiteful souls gracefully uplift.
