Road Never Traveled

Submitted by greenlemon on May 29, 2008 - 09:06.

A small footprint in the forest of life
Unnoticed unless searched for
Rarely stumbled upon
And hidden easily

Not less traveled,
But never traveled
Until one person decides to change that

Intersections exist
Between it and Main Street
However rare
Though it can be hard to distinguish
Between the two

The road never traveled can be something
To be desired or
To be dreaded

But it’s never wide enough
For two
