i took a walk down the quiet path

i took a walk

down the quiet path

all alone

in the dark

sun rising

through the mist

birds quiet

in the trees

cobbles hard

beneath my feet

winding deep

within the forest

i had heard

the tales

the stories

the legends

about this wood

but they didn't

scare me

i knew the beauties

i knew the secrets

i knew the wonders

of this wood

this place

where people

had made myths

legends

tales

stories

and so i walked forward

unafraid

for what felt like

the forest time

in my life

i took a walk

down the quiet path

needing to get away

from the noise

of life

the business

that seems to consume

everyone else

i can't stand

all of these people

all of this noise

i just need

to get away

to be alone

just have some time

by myself

so

i took a walk

down the quiet path

hoping to find

some quiet

some peace

some beauty

and some time

alone

i took a walk

down the quiet path

breathing in

the fresh scent

of the trees

the beautiful smell

of the flowers

and feeling

finally

free

from the noise

the business

of the city

i was finally

back home

this was the place

i felt

i belonged

i looked for

my friends

and they were

here

the magical

mystical

and sometimes

rather strange

people

who dwelt

in these woods

they had come back

to see me

again

i smiled

we were ready

for an adventure

the only adventure

that you can have

if you take a walk

down the quiet path

and throw off

the busy things

of life

and get away

from the noise

and stay quiet

enough

so that you can

hear them

calling

we were ready

are you?
