there is a path, in the tropical forest.
through the crowded leaves.
the tree canopy blocks the sun.
while shiny eyes flicker in the dense foliage,
yes, a path lies in the undergrowth.
to be made.
there is a path, in the swamp.
through the waters, wading.
the feet fall inside the muddy relief.
while weeds inside come alive it seems,
yes, a path lies in the wetlands.
to be tackled.
there is hope, beyond the many doubts.
through the dreary dreams, through trepidation.
the feelings of others are oft used,
to deny our self the chance of relief,
while anticipation turns to apprehension,
yes, a path lies in the mind.
to peace.
