Lichen to Bittersweet
The trail is new
yet somehow familar
sifting over your senses
like a summer dew
that leads you through
Lichen to Bittersweet
You follow the path
bordering braken and pine
anticipating adventure
you may fearfully decline
shadowed by the boulders
etched in your mind
Lichen to Bittersweet
And so the web of trails
weave on
amidst the evening twilight
and the morning fog
you trod the way crisscrossed
with pebble and stone
Lichen to Bittersweet
