Chosen Path

As we walk along our chosen path

either lightness or draknes: enrichment or decay. 

 

We encoutner many snares and tears 

along the way in the hope 

of reaching a promised land and 

a promised destiny.

 

As we walk along our chosen path

in search of our promised futures

we face many dangers, distractions, and 

the greatest fear of all the unknown. 

 

But like water we continued to

grow and strive until the day 

we reached our promised land 

and promised future (our greatness).

 

As we walk along our chosen path 

ins search of greatness like 

wildfires we leave trail of destruction

in our midst. Either the lies

we tell, lives we destroyed by

our actions or deeds. Or the 

resources we steal from a planet 

we call home. 

 

In our search for greatness, do

we ever stop and see the

greatness all around? Or the greatness

that can be achieved when we

work together?

 

As we walk our chosen path

either lightness or darkness: enrichment or decay,

do we ever stop and think

am I walking this path of my

own free will or because this

path was laid before me?

 

As we walk along our chosen path.
