Dream Trails

Along the asphalt foot path

Shooting off across the tall grass

Children have chased each other in games

Mothers have quietly escaped the noise of home

Lovers has slipped into bliss at the end

Of these dream trails

No one was supposed to walk there

But the human soul knows no bounds

And defies regulation in a solitary act of walking on the grass

to claim their own journey,

Join the ancient druids, the philosphers and ghosts

On these dream trails

So beautiful in the early morning sun

The night dew evaporating quickly to one day be rain

The grass recovering, some, but not enough

As boots and shoes and sandals and feet

Have marked a new direction for others to follow

Along these dream trails

They go to secrets and wishes

And only for the daring and adventurous do they live

Others pass them in annoyance, if they notice

Clucking that someone has broken the rules

Or most not noticing at all, too plugged in or chaotic to see

The beautious dream trails

I will blaze a new path, away from man

Away from competition, away from racing about

so earnestly that life slips from my hand like sand

Instead I feel the grass crunch softly under my shoes

I reach the grove of trees and lead others to a haven

Reached only by the Dream Trails

Join me
