Day 27, Sonnet 27

The forkéd road does seemingly present

The choice to leave untrodden one sole path

As though a road were from the heavens sent

To map our storied lives from first to last.

But human hands do form these thoroughfares

Though grandeur does this simple fact obscure

Geography is but one pathway there

Direction does not travels’ joy ensure.

The heart’s a trusty compass, for it knows

That true North can be skewed by magnets’ roam

But soon it rights itself and quickly shows

That ‘tis the inner journey that leads home.

Tread on, and know, ‘tis not the way you take

But steady strides that leave doubt in their wake.
