Spruce & Juniper

THREEFOLD PATH ~ Spruce tips and juniper in Ecuador dark chocolate ganache enrobed in that same Ecuador dark

Three roads diverged in a snow-kissed wood
And I am destined to travel them all
And being one traveler, misunderstood
I peered down each as long as I could
To where they twisted in the snowfall

The first looked used, worn and old
Shaped by many a soul not forgotten
Without any green glory to hold
Heavy footsteps both naive and bold
Long the walk of those who had trodden

The second had ware if only to say
I’ve been here before these steps are my own
To live in this moment tis a small price to pay
Hoping my feet will know the right way
Pleasure or pain from the seed that I’ve sown

When I stared down the third my mind was in awe
Beseeched by lines drawn in my own imagination
Infinite swirling colors I saw
Each with a promise, each without a flaw
Brilliant and bright that enviable migration

And I will recall within my minds eye
Somewhere ages beyond deliverance
Three roads diverged in a snow-kissed wood and I
I knew they’d all be traveled by
And that is the bliss of indifference
