Pathways
I’ve followed some strange pathways
Since my birth
Some signposts pointed the other way,
But I knew better!
Some led me nowhere,
I knew they would, but I went anyway!
Some begged me to follow,
But I never had the time…
One was well trodden and familiar,
I’m still on that! Just.
But I’ve been looking at it more closely:
Its surface is cracking up,
Holes are rapidly appearing,
Yet people don’t fall through?
And all the other paths
Connect to this one,
Which I’ve discovered
Is as round as the earth:
I stepped off of it, to have a look,
I did laugh!
It was then I discovered another path
It’s been there all along,
But to see it
You have to close your eyes….
