A Trail Appears

Posted on January 5, 2023April 21, 2025

How could in all my plodding of these streets,
I never noticed its presence before?
And never knew that by keeping my feet,
I was walking past Sanctuary’s door?

But today, up there on the old town road,
I came upon a sign, don’t know how new.
It called me down a path I never toed,
And without Moment’s pause, away I flew.
