Obstacles are challenges for Bro Sal

Poem

 

Obstacles are challenges

 

 The road I choose the path I take.

No different from the road I spurn

But what if I choose by mistake

a path from which I can’t return.

 

Sometimes our footsteps we retrace

when thorns and briars bar our way.

To try again another day.

Why should we fear a loss of face?

There’s nothing lost by the delay.

 

We merely bow to circumstance.

 We’re wise enough to recognise

 it is a hopeless enterprise

.In time we’ll get another chance.

In winter when the brushwood dies.

 

We will return to satisfy

our burning curiosity.

Explore these byways thoroughly.

On foot and with the naked eye.

No need to act too hastily.

 

For what we seek we do not know.

An urge which cannot be defined

springs from our deep subconscious mind.

We are compelled we have to go.

 Complete the task we self assigned.

how many times has my path been compelled by forces I could not know, it is maddening in some respects because I can never be quite sure I achieved the required end, but I hope that somehow I will succeed.
