The Narrow Way
Upon the broad open prairies of possibilities
each compass degree direction calls to freedom
every nascence in the hope of dreams lingers
predicting natures ever present connections
No need to ponder an ideals rejection
unencumbered by expectation
footsteps lost in the faith of random
find their destiny the way of the soul
Take the narrow way
burden between the fences begin
searching for alive while living
grasping at life and unsatisfied meaning
Walk alone amidst the throng
tramping to the beat of so many other feet
take the one way
a single unequivocal end awaits
The drudgery of obeisance heads
in quiet sadness forget the sun in the nation of stars
and predetermine the voice of the heart
to speak the only conviction of
How the narrow way is taken
its sign post struck to anvil and stone
turnstile for the future payment to come
gloating and goading to the illusions of freedom
But there, there upon the grasslands
each compass point of so many dreams
the random footsteps find their faith to destiny
lift their eyes to the sun in her nation of stars
Ever free to follow
wander on the whims of unfettered hearts
lay aside those burdensome of mere existance deceptions
and take alive to the soul of life
