Life's Choices

The path is wide as a field

Riddled with objects


Stones to trip, and

Pot holes to sink

Both impede the path


There is no way across

Too many holes need filling

Too many rocks need moving


Filling holes with rocks,

Can take you so far

But even the strongest,

Will one day fall


Further up the path

The path overgrown

Not many have passed

Into this unknown


Strive for the trees

At the end of the field

The darkness to hide

In the rebirth of trees


It is your choice to make,

This path that you take

Better for others who come


Or wander around

The trees that surround

Hide in darkness


But as you do, consider this,

If the path were clear, far less would be amiss.
