They told me that the sky is blue
But I’ve seen the shades of purple and pink
And the bright dash of orange hue
Between the clouds of subtle cream
They said the trees with its brown branches
Have leaves which are so green
But the green I saw… a thousand greens
With yellow, brown and blue
Hidden underneath
So when they told me the path to be taken
With the least trouble to be undertaken
The simplest straightest beaten path
Will lead to the desired destination
But the destination I do not know
As I look up at the high mountains
It could be beyond, could be right here
The answer lies hidden in an adventure
The beaten path seemed lacklustre
Thus I made my path.. a trifle longer
The path is narrow with hurdles laden
But the air seems clear,
And the mountains beckon
The birds are whistling
And the flowers are beaming
My spirits soar and my smile widens
As once again
