the path to happiness
levanah sciple
Through the longest tunnel,
In the deepest wood,
Living on water from the runnel
And the shriveled apples of good
In the dragonıs cave,
And out the other side.
Escaping the slave
of defeatıs guide.
Over the twisted roots
Of jagged cliffs.
Sliding on frozen lakes,
Crashing into snowdrifts
Braving waterfalls
lions, ghosts, and Gauls,
Leaping over balls of fire
Crawling beneath the tangled brier
Running faster than the wind
On the road of sharks.
Leaving on the charred road, marks.
Then through the field of victory,
Into the castle of happiness
To live forever among other poets,
Who,
Like you,
Have won.
