FRESH PATHS

  
 You wake up, but
 Were not even sleeping
 Everything seems clear
 Where have I been?
 On a path to somewhere
 Or just wasting here?
  
 I was just fitting in
 Making no waves
 Yet feeling empty
 Watching others, too
 Maybe for the first time
 Sometimes the last time
  
 Nothing more there
 No memory worth posting
 But still a stake that
 I felt comfortable holding
  
 Say what you will
 I harbor no malice
 Self-forgiveness a must
 Enlightenment welcome
 Negative energy released
 A happy new pilgrim
  
 Pathway to peace at hand
 Memories of yesterday
 Dreams of tomorrow
 Living today
