Paths Lest Taken

Chambers unseen by the naked eye Along the path least taken stands the guard Sometimes you can pass through unobserved Other times are blocked with harsh disregard. It is not something to approach lightly For footsteps can always be heard in the echo. Follow the quiet thoughtless moment of space And grace will protect you while you’re deep below. Always be careful in this hidden place One wrong move can send you tumbling through the chasm When the eyes fall upon you in their icy regard They can make you wither and fall into spasm. Take heed in the warning I say here today The strength in virtue will keep you out of harm's way Knowing there is danger in dark places On paths least taken it is good to stay away.
