inspiration

it's not as if a spirit comes before you
and tells you let me in and i will guide
it doesn't know the way and beside
lacks any sense of perspective of view
there isn't some group of chosen few
who know the secret of the moving tide
all of us are along here for the ride
and everyone knows how to make the new
the truth is that each one can read the map
but not enough of us will walk the path
and only a few will choose the rightful way
too many prospects fall into the gap
and far too many fear an aftermath
but some will still go fearless into day

So apt

Are you familiar with the Robert Frost poem: The Road Less Travelled ?

I am, indeed. And that has made all the difference.

It's a pretty powerful poem.
