The Woods.
Life is seldom
A straight path
Through a copse of trees
To the light.
Reality meanders.
Shadows call.
Enticing sounds call you
Through the mists,
From the trees,
To come and visit,
Come…come…
Come away from the path,
Away with me…
Come…
Curiosity
Abhors the normal.
Sirens of the woods,
Ulysses would understand.

The hidden paths are always exciting. Sometimes scarey, but always exciting.

Beautifully written dear Cosmo, it is always lovely to wander from the path to hidden and mysterious places.

Love the way you went with this--and the bit about curiosity abhoring the normal; very interesting.
