the road within
to the home I know
withers thin
on love alone
fluttering thoughts
wears out the soul
and wisdom sought
burns out the whole
grievances heal
upon the road
passion then reels
to seek and unload
peace imparts
upon the path
repenting hearts
who wielded wrath
it tames the weed
that longingly spill
nurtured by greed
and shallow will
faith employs fate
to find and peruse
and then dissipate
the pitiful ruse
though that road
seems to go on
diligence bodes
a blessed dawn
