To Set One's Feet Upon the Trail
To set one's feet upon the trail,
to briefly put one's life on hold,
suspending what that might entail,
is to relax, unfurl, unfold.
To set one's feet upon
fresh, loamy dirt, observe
the night give break to dawn,
arouse forgotten nerves…
To set one's feet
firm on the earth
embrace complete
creation's worth…
To set
out wrong, to fail
is sure, if one forgets
to set one's feet upon the trail…

A Zanze: 8A:8b:8a:8b:6c:6d:6c:6d:4e:4f:4e:4f:2g:4a:6g:8A with the additional requirement that L5 is the first 6 of L1, L9 is the first 4 of L1, and L13 is the first 2 of L1. Tricky!
