The road...

Across steep mountain
thru rambling glade;
unguided venture
for me was laid.

Acquaintance many
friends but few;
values I held seem
ever more so true.

To many I talked
diverse knowledge gleamed;
some even I taught
or to me so it seemed.

Many were smug
self righteous, some proud;
they ridiculed ,mocked
oft laughed right out loud.

Yet more often than not
as they opened and spoke;
true beauty
goodness self evident
in simple words awoke.
