The Path Called Compromise (a poem)

Strolling along, hand in hand,
But going nowhere
slowly

Meandering, unsure.

Marching toward mountains,
but then retreating at roadblocks

Tiptoeing into sheltered retreats.

Wondering why the path revisits
this same tired scenery:

Stagnant pools,
Where the bored and complacent
share complaints freely.

I haven’t a clue how we got here,
‘cept we kept not choosing
the overgrown paths -

of the road less traveled.
