Easy to follow along,
leaving no footprints yet
imprinting your energy
as you pass under trees
lining the street.
Solid grey paths that lead
to a library, a park, a store,
or museum where life is
bought and paid for with
plastic or coin or the time
it takes to make a path
under ancient trees,
down to the restless water;
skirting spring geese
searching the murky shore.
Returning home, following
a new cement trail that boasts
cracks that heave from
winter freeze and spring thaw
under trees lining the street.
“I took the one less traveled by and that has made all the difference.”
~ Robert Frost
