Get Off the Sidewalk

Yes, it’s true that sidewalks do

Make it easier to move about

From place to place in the daily pace of

Ambling, scrambling in and out.

 

But every once and then again

It’s somewhat nice to sacrifice

The safety of the proven path

To stumble into paradise.

 

The hidden walkways of the soul

Must oft times seek embellishment

To grow the spirit strong and wise

Inspiring guise of testament

To be within a single moment

Lost within the nothingness

 Captivated by the being

Letting go of pain and stress.

 

Leaping from the sidewalk jungle

Meeting meadows, woods and streams.

Find the treasures lost in silence

There amongst the purest dreams.
