Poems - The Path

The Path

by Woodster

To walk the path
With forks and bends
Is the choice we’re given
With no amends
We take a turn
We follow a course
Life.. should it get better?
Or will it get worse...

Born to live...
Born to die...
Live our life...
Or live the lie...
Life is for living..
You hear it said..
What do I choose..
The living or the dead…?

a traditional buddhist saying goes " the path and the gateway have no use, or meaning once the objective is in sight " - love and a straight path - paul.
