Where Paths Divide - Prose

                                       



Where paths divide
choices collide
a no or yes
is as weighty
as life or death

What I've left behind
was not a path
of the easy kind
but with all the obstacles
on that windy road
the greatest barricade
was always in my mind

Where paths divide
destinies collide
if I take one step
all is decided
the future set.

Then I feel the sound
of fragrant love
see the shape of a gentle hand
which steadies feeble steps
and splits the rocks
as I walk
into the promised land.
