#poem, «Where Leads Your Path?»

(Photo by Francisco Bravo Cabrera/All Rights Reserved)

Young bloods walk in rhythm with the angels

and with mongrels, street wise, hungry, selfish, true,

strolling through the dark, green corridors of nature,

ignoring older travellers,

ignoring evil shadows,

not seeing clear before them,

not knowing what or when,

a simple ray of light

may strike them dead…

C.2023, Francisco Bravo Cabrera, 06 JUN 2023, Valencia, España

NOTES:

A path… A road before you… A way to leave as well as to arrive…

A path leads nowhere unless you approach it with intent and with the implacable power of your will…

      Often a destination is most important. More than once, serendipity was a pleasant surprise.

      To each their own.

        Thank you Pat. This summer I have to work so I probably won’t be going too far, but, we’ll see, those Aegean waters are very difficult to ignore…

    I feel the same way about VA or Key West in the winter.

        VA is a typo. Should have been CA (meaning San Diego area.)

    And Florida is the home of the Skunk Man, Pacific NorthWest is Sasquatch, Himalayas is Yeti–in DC it’s the government.
