The Path

Made of dirt and
Covered
With decaying leaves that smell of
Fall
The sun filters through the
Trees
Casting a kaleidescope of
Color
and
Shape
and
Shadow
On the floor of the forest

Under all those beautiful
Leaves
Lie rocks and stones
That
Could cause a stumble
Then
A fall
It is always the unseen
The unknown
And
Unanticipated
That cause the
Most pain
