Life is a tricky trail Filled with mysteries and wonders Though the path tends to trip us and trick us We continue to ponder with an adventurous passion and a blissful glee Trying to find the horizon and victory Guided by amazement and curiosity We plot our path cheerfully But then we stop We freeze in place We're turned around and lost in this space We've lost our way and don't know where to face We panic and scream and try to re-trace The footsteps and map we've seemed to misplace But the effort is futile We know that deeply Now we wander the woods in search of safety Taking our time and stepping ever gently Our pace is slow and our eyes aglow We've found a current, so we follow In the transit of loss, we gazed at fear and uncertainty Yet the tapestry we find gleams wistfully A tapestry only seen sparingly As we ran our quest hurriedly Only now do we bask in its beauty So now we have a strafe, We ponder and intrigue As a snail on a journey Gazing blissfully.
