          HIDDEN PATHWAYS
         By ... Steve Lucky

While exploring the woods as I often do,
I encountered a hidden pathway.
Because of some low tree branches
The path looked like it was hardly ever used.
This further motivated me to follow it
And see where it took me.
Sometimes the path was hard to follow.
Grass, trees, and other types of plant life
Had decided to claim the path for themselves.
Despite this, the path could still be seen
Seperating the large plants from one another.
As I continued down the hidden pathway,
I noticed another one emerging from it,
And then another one, and then another one.
Soon I realized the entire forest
Was filled the hidden pathways,
Hidden because not too many people
Bothered to explore this part of the forest.
After pausing a few moments
Debating which path to take
I decided to travelled down the path
I was already on.
Eventually the path took me out of the woods
And into a large open field.
At the other end of the field
Was a car dealership
Reminding me that no place
Is totally untouched by civilazation.
Tomorrow I will try another hidden pathway.
There are plenty of them left to explore.
