A Trail
A trail meanders along a shadowed forest floor
Autumn colored leaves rising brightly to the fore
A path’s worn smooth through this corridor in the wild
That began as a passage of an Innocent wayward child
Pausing as we rest on this quest that we’ve been given
Pondering on the outcome of the route that we’ve been driven
The past lies behind on the road that we have traveled
A future lays ahead an enigma to be unraveled
Worn by many footsteps that are leading to an ending
We are walking the unknown in this life we are tending
Do we follow blindly on this journey that we take
Silently following footprints on the path that others make
We take
