Paths that lead somewhere; do they know where they go? <br />Do they think of the pebbles and the thorns <br />That can wound your feet; do they imagine <br />Or ever ponder that distances are not the reason <br />You set out alone: that solitude could have made you <br />Retrace your steps fast enough if you had known. <br /> <br />If you had known that paths that lead you somewhere <br />But do not guide you along; sing, sing a lonely song; <br />That paths are just tracks, trails to be followed <br />And life is still to be walked along.<br /><br />Rani Turton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/paths-that-lead-somewhere/
