A Pathway Poem by Doris Cornago

A Pathway

Rating: ★5.0


Walking a pathway is complicated
Choices litter, puzzles obstruct
Your one key opens the lock
Mind deconstructs, block
Past attempts conceal
As well as seal all
Ways to paths
Unsealed
Gaps
Flourish
Can't demolish
Buildings half built
Foundations are secure
Falter not, waste not your own
Treasure of experiences, failures
Lifetime weaving of dreams, goals taken

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Failures are milestones of success, defining where we have been and how farther we need to walk. We cannot deconstruct our concepts of how to gain a foothold, but must build on them, scaling every steep incline as in climbing a wall that obstructs the pathway. If we falter, we can lose a foothold and restart all over again. Don't demolish, but reclaim all you've got from the start.
