On the Path

“At least, I am on a path, to what, who knows, but still, no straying!” Gun Roswell

On the Path

The long path ahead
May be wide or even narrow
But that simple fact I won’t let
Choosing it to make my own

Navigating between the right and wrong
There is nothing to it, but staying strong
And even if I slip every now and again
The path will still be in front of me just the same

Gladly hopping on that trail
Keeping my fingers crossed I won’t fail
And if I manage to steer mostly clear
Then for the future, I have no fear

The path keeps on winding
Sometimes, my with my teeth grinding
I take a breath and stop
But soon enough, I am back on the road

Moving forward, one step at the time
Sometimes feeling sorrow, other times I am fine
But the path keeps on going
Without an end showing

And me, I just keep walking
For what else is there, to do?

Follow the Yellow Brick Road

Early morning rays
On the brick a while stay
Just don’t stand and stare
On a dare, without care
Start your trip
With an attitude and flare

Follow the Yellow Brick Road

Painted instructions, onto the asphalt
Follow them, to the default
While doing that, keep your resolve
Otherwise it will be your own fault
If you diverge and take a fall

Follow the Yellow Brick Road

The narrow corridor
Once crossed, by the conquistadors
Now you too can play
A proud and courageous warrior

Just do as you were told
Follow the yellow brick road
Whether a man or a toad
Just leave that load
Where it belongs
Take a quick step, a tall step
A dance step, even a slow step
And follow the yellow brick road

Down, down, down the stairs
Up, up, up the stairs
Never mind where you may fare
Just enjoy the time on the stairs

On this narrow road of summer
There is no time for bummers
Just follow the path of hummers
And find all the wonders
Of this little thing called summer

Sometimes
When it rains
It also rains
Onto the plains
In the country
Called Spain

Follow the Yellow Brick Road

This green, grassy path
May not long last
Before you are done with the math
Or taken a long, long bath
The green has passed
And so has the grass
Of the green, grassy path
