Paths
Follow me for I shall guide you
Follow me for I shall guide you
Follow me for I shall guide you
Follow your own path? I know the way.
I know the way, I ‘ve walked it many times
I know the way, I ‘ve walked it many times
I know the way, I ‘ve walked it many times
Still! You want to walk your own path?
Fine, you follow your own path
Fine, you follow your own path
Fine, you follow your own path
Your own Path! It’s wrong, we’ll see!
You got here but how is that possible
You got here but how is that possible
You got here but how is that possible
You’re sure you followed your own path?
I’ve just learned a very simple message
I’ve just learned a very simple message
I’ve just learned a very simple message
Many, many paths lead to the same destinations.
You’ve used this repetition really, really well to make a super point in the very last line! We learn, as you learn throughout the poem, that many paths can lead to the one spot. Lovely writing, Brian!
Anne, thank you Kindly. I really enjoyed this prompt – it triggered something within.
