I discover

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................ I discover!
