The Path Within


Down the foggy road of truth that winds within the heart
That beautiful dirt road with trees and roots that led you from the start
Desires like fruit on the vines that twist and turn beneath your feet
Makes one stop to look and taste, can’t be bad to eat
As you stop to have a bite you find just one blossom will not do
A little further along the path you think, maybe I’ll just have two
The fog rolls in the light grows dim the path narrows down your sight
Your feet move without thought as you travel down the dirt road tonight

All around you life bustles and churns, a cool breeze begins to blow
Eyes closed, arms out, a smile creeps to your face and it’s then that you know
A fork there comes in the road, which path should I walk now
Both invite you to come tread along but a choice must be made some how
For in two you cannot be and one you must remain
Do you continue to walk the path before you, or for once do you refrain
Both seem right in their own way, but one seems a little lighter
Even in the foggy night, the moon shines on one much brighter

It has captivating oak and pine trees with cherry blossoms around
The beauty of that path you seek and you turn to where you are bound
Each path leads to neither right nor wrong but to the truth instead
For this journey within your heart is walked with passion, and thought with your head
As you walk the new path widens, becomes clear, and now you can see
Though part of you still wants the other, this path holds your hearts key
In the warmth of the sun or calmness of the night
When the heart chooses a path, it can be nothing but right
