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.
