The Path

By Dewayne Allday

Hickories and hollows
And bygones of tomorrows -
Sifting myself
from the past.

Yesterday begets today
And today next week -
Intertwined and immortalized
as prophetic speak.

Hyssops and hiccups
And struggles and missteps –
Separating the wheat
From the chaff.

A sunrise, a sunset
A new day, the same path –
Forewarned and well worn
Of the danger I hath.

Roses and poses
A broken compass unsure –
A tree’s moss on the north;
A man’s faith - a cure.
