Literary (Submission): The Routes

Someone asked me a question,
About how I should look at things.
There are two paths, one long, one short,
To sate your exceptional yearnings.

The long path takes a long while,
Winding up and down astounding sights.
Sights so beautiful no one can express
The words that can do them right.

The short path is straight-forward,
It was made for practical practices.
There’s not much to see, why bother?
A path not needing any more analysis.

The question made my mind work.
I was stuck deep in deep thought,
Two options, one or the other?
Which I should take and which I should not.

I think it over, and I smile.
I ask, “Well, where do they lead?”
