Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Pathways

The pathways we follow
   are too oft chosen for us

Our birthplace or breeding 
   as to flowers their seeding

Schools and society too have their way
   framing whatever they want us to say

Hearts need to express their deepest yearnings
   toward the pathways our feet someday will be turning

Nicely penned. ~Anna Kaianah Gershon Wolf May 7, 2022 at 8:50 PM Without the heart, whither the feet, I guess. Thank you for your kind words, Anna. Cheers, Gershon
