Notes About The Poem

The pathless path Poetry Contest

I used Poetry Soup Syllable Counter to check my work.

The Pathless Path

The tangled woods invite my weary feet,
to step beyond markers upon the stone,
where ancient trees and heavy shadows meet,
I walk into the quiet wild alone.

No beaten trail directs the way to go;
no painted sign reveals the final end.
The mossy ground and ferns begin to grow;
as deeper into silence I descend.

The map I held has lost its former grace.
The rules of old no longer guide my stride,
I find a freedom in this empty space;
with only inner truth to act as guide.

I cast away the maps that others made;
The pathless path is found here, in the shade.
