The Courage To Follow The Moss Poem by Alyx True Edge
The Courage To Follow The Moss
Finding courage to go your own way,
the unique and rewarding journey
but what if every step you might take
on your unique, varied, flat or steep path
is plastered with mines anticipating
the jaunty steps of a young adult,
oblique defences and absences
lacerating metalloid threads of life,
turning us into serfs to angst
scouring all the guideposts
trepidations, unlived lives,
so you follow the moss.
Sun rays are beautifully scattered
as are the myriads of thoughts of
all shattered, overrun pathways
and you choose not
to choose not,
a brave nod
does not
defuse
mines
But it brings
courage to start
a potentially unique and rewarding journey
full of risks, all wounds and scars shaping what we are,
flaring away the known, seeking solace in the unknown dark.

The path of every life is unique and it is shaped by the courage and conviction of the individual. What Bhagawat Gita says, ‘Uddharet Aatman Aatmanam..' holds good.5*
This is wonderful, thank you. literally to raise yourself, get up, and live through the adversaries. I'd love to read of the parts of the Mahabharata, it suits human life experiences
