Russell Sivey Poet Tanka

Well Beaten Path

Blessed mighty trail
I walk down well beaten path
Following along
Onward I trudge down the road
Through the deep colors alive
I follow footsteps
Of greater minds that have lived
Ones that have spoken
About perfect ways of life
The comforts of the forest

Russell Sivey

Andrea Dietrich August 14, 2012 at 7:30 PM I love that middle line here: "I follow footsteps of greater minds that have lived. . " Makes me think of the famous poet who lived in the woods.

Sara Kendrick August 14, 2012 at 10:49 AM Ahhh!...I especially like the line "Of greater minds that have lived"..There have been some great people who were artists, spokesmen, writers, creative individuals, people devoted to a higher power to higher goals, etc..Thanks for stopping by..Sara
