“Hard Paths”


“Hard Paths”

cji
8/21/12

The direction given
which paths to walk
others denied or lost
wherein we’ll not go
forever into the deep
reaching places dark
jungles and swamps
rivers and mountains
valleys and streams
icy slopes and rain
feeling great the pain
hearing oft the screams
seeking pure fountains
where terrors stomps
and nakedness stark
mothers/sisters weep
none wanting to know
lingering within frost
hearing none to talk
hard paths so driven!
