the dark night of comfort
that can choke the air
in that familiar way.
A walking path with secret recesses
and vistas
surprises us with ups and downs, hides the
obvious, squirrels its booty
until we're ready to appreciate them.
Funny how a new path never tires us.

So true, Rosaria and so beautifully written.

... 'squirrels its booty' ~ how delightful!
What a nice, and true, little poem. May we always find new paths.
Oh, so true! And those secret recesses can make even a well-trodden path seem new, at times. Thank you for this!
Very nice! Gave me food for thought as I am comfortable in well worn paths. Stepping out on new ground requires taking risk for uncertain rewards.
Yes. In the way that traveling broadens our horizons...lovely poem, Rosaria.
So true and so well said. And so many new paths await us.
I like the surprises ...
until we are ready to appreciate them...how true that is...we can walk the same path again and again and find something new every time....
Here's to new paths!
Blessings and Bear hugs, rosaria!
I enjoy a nice walk along a new path...and I enjoy surprises on those paths. I hope all your paths...old and new...welcome you this lovely October month!
Hi Rosaria .. paths are just lovely aren't they .. the change as nature changes and adds to their beauty, or lures us into the Autumn or Winter journey ... cheers Hilary
Sometimes new path frighten me because I don’t know where they end and I might find myself out on a limb.
But, on the whole, step out and explore, that’s my motto.
A new path can be daunting to me. I am willing to explore though. I guess that is a good thing.
Argh, replying from phone and accidentally hit delete on your comment! However, thank you!
As for new paths, agreed! I hope there are always many waiting to be found and laid :).
A fun romp, I am always looking for that new path to find treasures.
Exactly. I love new paths....:)
Smiling. That was lovely.
Congrats on Hilary's POTW.
