We walk along the shadowed path <br />In search of wisdom's valued light, <br />Uncertain footsteps lightly tread <br />That faded line 'tween day and night; <br /> <br />No blazing beacon welcomes us, <br />The path is long and winding - <br />Does instinct push us ever on, <br />Is truth the gift worth finding? <br /> <br />Obstacles make passage slow, <br />Sometimes require climbing - <br />The hills and valleys mark our days, <br />Rewards rely on timing; <br /> <br />Perhaps today the light will shine, <br />No clouds will mar the glowing - <br />Sweet progress made along the way <br />Bask in the warmth of knowing; <br /> <br />Come walk along this shadowed path <br />There is no need to worry, <br />So many gifts beyond each turn - <br />Remember not to hurry.<br /><br />Linda Ori<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-shadowed-path/
