Every Path is Sacred

Every path is sacred -

The green & wide & lush

Where many gather often

And abundance surrounds;

The dense forest way

Enclosed with brush & solitude

Hours beyond twilight, & prickly;

The drowning wild Ocean

With waves forever crashing

And vistas vast & sweeping

Over deep and troubled waters;

The rocky, steep & narrow

Where the only way beyond is to climb up

And there is room for but one set of footprints;

Every path is sacred.
