THE OLD STRAIGHT TRACK Poem by Barry Tebb

THE OLD STRAIGHT TRACK



Runs to no compass point

But starts within the human heart

Where travellers in twos may go

As for a while it winds beside

A man-made road then veers aside



We met at a cross-roads once and journeyed

Together for a while across a moor

And then on horseback sadly you waved adieu.
