The Road Unmarked

Walk through the corridors of time.
Paths long since overused.
It holds the footprints of those.
Who walked long before you.

How many have there been?
What were their history? 
They must have walked long.
While on their own long journey.

Can we learn from the past?
Mistakes made in haste.
The ones made in consideration.
Will we repeat history?

The road is well worn.
Making it easy to follow.
To walk in previous footsteps.
No need to make our own.

Does it not make it all the more.
So easy to do the same.
Blatantly obvious mistakes.
Of those gone before?

The path unmarked.
Is not an easy one to follow.
It has burrs and thistles.
Uneven ground and holes unseen.

If you take the unmarked trail.
You'll fall and scrape your knee.
You might even get scratched.
Although you'll not be alone.

The ground will give way.
To beauteous valleys and mountains.
Flowing with rivers and hills.
Sights seen by none.

Take the path unknown.
To the place seen by none.
Find your peace and rest.
Make a journey of your life.
