A track into the woods,
turning out of view in the distance,
dragged me from the road
to the mysteries hidden in the shade
beneath trees,
in the darkness of tunnels.
That still flickering excitement
of childish adventures,
those reached only
through almost invisible entrances,
lightened my steps,
trimmed my years,
diverted me from the endless trudge
along those roads straightened by habit,
paved for safety.
