To Loose My Way
Life is strange and winding
A faded forest trail.
Constantly reminding
The path is all that's clear-
It's narrow atmosphere...
I cannot leave the way.
I'd surely loose my way.
This path is lined with numbers
And memos trampled by
Black, busy shoes that lumber
On for stuff called money-
It grows nowhere that's sunny...
But I fear to loose my way.
I should not leave the way.
The forest has its flowers
Its sun and wind and birds
Its wolves and lonely hours
Wonderfully, uncomfortably,
In living's company...
Could I dare to leave the way?
How would I know my way?
How harrowing to set out;
How intoxicating, free.
This wandering adventure,
My silly, strange conjecture:
I shan't need to know my way.
Whatever comes, so come what may.
