The Path Taken ...
The path taken ...
Authored by Chuck Keys
One day I'll go for a walk and forget to come home
and lose myself among the trees and the gnomes.
I'll be dressed in my walking shorts, shoes and socks
ready to face the unknown world and all of its locks
alone and free, seasoned with age beyond my years afloat
unbridled from people and places and ready to emote.
The path will go straight and sideways, straight and backways
and bend to the left to secret hide-a-ways.
I'll be dressed in my walking shorts, shoes and socks
ready to face the unknown world and all of its locks
Lose myself I will, on purpose with forethought and glee
because that is what makes me, me.
