There’s a path near his home

curves this way and that

across the rough ground.

Logically it should be straight.

But people have made it that way.

There is a path near his heart,

which curves that way and this

across rough ground.

No doubt it should be straight.

But people have made it that way.

There’s a path in his life,

which is beyond all tracing,

ricocheting over rough ground.

How could it possibly be straight?

People have made it that way.
