The First StepI walked upon a wooden path one distant summers eve A scent of bark was in the air, the wind was in the leaves As I walked along i came upon a path id never tread U thought to take the other path but took the familiar one instead That night i thought to myself, to where may that path lead I do not know to where it goes but the thought had sown the seed I dreamed of "pleasures and glory" upon the final journey's end Though through hard times i might go, bad weather to contend To take the unknown path and leave the shapeless seas to sunder Where the trees are ever-green and that ground that never thunders A place with harpers ever struming and trumpets all ablare A sheltered shore upon the sea, a sheltered shore to share I dremt to take the road of eternal bliss, a destination i'd know naught Be it a true road to take or just a lovers though?
