Two Roads

Two roads diverged at the top of the hill

A new journey awaits regardless of choice

True self returns to guide your course

Pay attention and listen well

This information is from the source

From the heart

Way back at the beginning, the very start

The climb may have been slow or fast

Depends on the approach you took

Regardless, the distance doesn’t change

Everything’s clock synchronized

True self’s pace always the same

Returns just like the first time they came

I looked down one path

It was open and clear

Plenty of peddlers wanting to take me near

The path was downhill

And lead to a city

Glitzy and glammy all dressed up and pretty

Lots of people were there

And plenty to do

The first pitchman asked: “Don’t you want to be there too?”

I guess but why?

What about the other path, ought I give that a try?

I looked down the other path

It disappeared around the bend

“Oh don’t go there it will surely be your end”

The pitchman pitched when he saw me turn my head

There was a light that came from a place in the distance

Down the second path it did glisten

“But...” I began in protest to the pitchman

As I opened my mouth he lifted his hand

“I see you like light, we’ve got plenty of that down there”

Again pointing to the city

Down the path that was fair

The city gleamed with light

Beautiful colors, blazing top to floor

All the people shiny and light

But still not as bright

I looked back down the other path again

Watched it disappear around the bend

Compared the two lights

Looked left, looked right

I saw which one was truly bright

Started down the path around the bend

The pitchman tried to warn me again

I just waved back, thanks my friend...
