Off The Path Poem by Barry Middleton

Off The Path



flowers grow off the path

newness waits there
the garden tends itself

it is not far away

turn left at your door
instead of right

stroll to the lake

sit on the bench
listen to the air

take time to see

dawn's long shadow
reaches to the west

study the text of seasons

bloom and leaf and twig
birds racing south

cultivate stillness

it whispers to you
wisdom's secrets
