Pathmaker

To be where I want to go
I seek a path
Which takes me there
There is always a way

Though I may have to fly
Rather than drive
I may have to walk
Rather than bicycle

Sometimes I find my eye lingering
On the path I’ve already travelled

I remind myself

Look forward
Or risk running aground

Sometimes
The way seems impassable
Formidable barriers
Impenetrable walls

But I stand here, now
Beyond so many
Impassable barriers
All along the way

Sometimes, the path seems so clear
Not so much that I know where I’m going
But that I’m going where I know

No fixed destination
No long-term goal
No yellow brick road

Sometimes the path to the light
Seems uninviting

I remind myself

While some have said
The light at tunnel’s end

Is an illusion

I take the darkened path
Knowing illumination
Will guide my way

The light

Of guides
Of friends
Of family

If you
Lead me
To the light

I will
Follow you

I have discovered light
Emitted by many sources
Each illuminating
The world in its own way

But the light which guides me
Burns from within
And from there illuminates
My true path in the world

Walking alone
It is harder
To find the light

Sometimes the way ahead seems clear
I try to remind myself
The path of least resistance
Always seems clear

So I wonder
Am I sure to reach my goal
At the end of this valley
