pathways

 
ache inside the feeling and let it go
stir the emotion let it color your soul
leaving little imprints of what it is to feel
flavoring a spirit so poignantly you know it's real

babies breath reminds you of love past
within your sacred solemn hold on
to the love and tears, they make you human

compassion only grows in understanding
treat others as you would be treated
I hurt in the knowing I fail often

my heart feels heavy I look to the stars
written on them my destiny
the path I choose is my own

intervening on my behalf the angels
they know my soul
they urge me onward

I stumble, fall, and get lost in the briers
it's then I'm reminded who I am and what I am to do here
