Unseen Pathways Ahead are Full
Unseen pathways ahead are full
Of switchbacks and great ruts.
Should you get a foot entangled -
I can help you regain your steps.
None of the routes are easy;
There's no formidable plan.
I only know forward is the way
So I will follow behind.
Today is not new nor bright;
It hides a lot of middle ground.
I am the friend in your life
That brings some peace of mind
Yet death is deep and mysterious;
It's the Last Great Unknown.
That's what'll end our shared fates
And on we must walk alone.
