She walks not the paths I find familiar
\nUnderfoot clear ground and sound stone
\nThat I have walked heretofor in life
\nFoot worn slabs trod often and alone.
\nShe walks the paths of the briars and the shadows
\nWhere rocks to trip exist and mud to slip
\nPath of the raw nature of those of Eden
\nWith only Divine planted Vines on which to grip.
\nLest I fall, fall deeply, risk getting hurt
\nShould I broken, at the bottom of this abyss be found
\nHaving misjudged my step, through dreams more than planned steps
\nCame foul of the Garden of Edens rough ground.<\/p>\n

Hers are not the paths sound underfoot… but of the moor, the bog, with all the hazards of walking life…
