The unused path

the bramble overflowing,
undergrowth abloom
but a hint of a path,
just an impression really.
One long abandoned
left to grow fallow
forgotten, up the bank
out into the wood.
Like that unknown journey
maybe a hidden rock wall
the unused path before me
calling me to walk.

the unused path into the wood
calling, beckoning me onward
to move from my comfort
out into the unknown.
The whisper of the wind
a shiver at my back,
yet a call echoing within me
to turn and not look back.
Venturing forth, yet uncertain,
not knowing yet the way
needing the Spirit to guide me
each and every day.
