Thoughts by Kris

There was a path

deep in the woods,

once it forked;

the bad,the good.

I chose to take

the left hand path,

I did not know,

I had no map.

Now this road that I travel

Is dirty and battered.

It’s littered with dreams

That are broken and shatterd

Paved with wrong doings

And dotted with hearts,

that were taken from people

and torn apart.

Pain and regret

are common here

whereever you turn

there always near.

I want to cross

to the other path

and leave behind

this painfull wrath.

I thought I was forever

doomed to walk this path

and all the gates

were tightly locked,

but as I continued

a footbridge I could see

a bridge of hope

called out to me.

Slowly I crossed

to the path of good

finally I was on the path

of which I thought I should,

now hidden deep

within the woods

the one that forked..

paths bad and good .

I once was wrong

but now I’m right

and before me

glows a guiding light.

Altered by

a little step

so close to falling

In darkend depths.

But I was finally

pulled to hope,

I found that footbridge

and learned to cope.

My single mistake..

following the crowd,

Ignoring the heart

that speaks so loud

the choices you make

can change your life;

one will bring happiness

the other brings stife.

Following the crowd

won’t lead you right.

If you follow your heart

you’ll be guided by light.

There was a path

deep in the woods,

once it forked; the bad the good

heed my warning,

because I know.

Follow your heart,

you know where to go!
