In the deserts of life
When it seems that oases you’ve taken for granted
Have forgotten
Marked paths,
Don’t ignore painted signs
Of the flags of times past.
The direction you take may determine
If your very next steps
Lead to hope
Or end up being
Your last.

Come this way and I’ll show you
The best spots for
Sweet cherries.
Come this way
I’ll protect you
From the thorns
On the berries.
Hold my hand
Be my friend.
From today to the end
You can on me
Depend.

There is no need to sneak
Or take the long way around
You’re invited to step on
The green grassy ground.
Such a lovely reminder
That lawns are to be used
It’s a warm friendly offer
That I shall not refuse!

As above so below
The moss weeps
Willows flow
Flowered path
Bridges pond:
The fair folk had
Waived their wand.

Old way down stony hill
Many shutters hold still.
Do aged walls
Yet recall
What in past time rang through:
“Gardez l’eau, Gardez l’eau…”?

Walk this way
To the water
Where the goats
Cleared a path.
Walk this way
Where the feet
Of the ancients
Have passed.
Walk this way
Little brother
I will give you
My hand.
Walk this way
And together
Our adventures
Expand.

There’s a path in the park
Lined by mulch from trees past
So that every step presses
What had grown,
What won’t last.
