A stranger knocks on your door, asking for directions from your home to the closest gas station (or café, or library. Your pick!). Instead of the fastest and shortest route, give him/her the one involving the most fun detours.
A stranger knocks on the door
Drenched in sweat, scared, beard grow
It is so cold out here everywhere snow
“What do you want, I want to know?”
Teary eyes, tired feet, chipped lips, cracked toes
Wrapped in rags, skeleton look, voice low
I am lost, not able to find my home where to go?
Storm drifted me away, left exhausted, path not known
Need your help, show me the way, I will go
Hopeless, weak, alone I may walk slow
To see my destination, I’ll survive and glow
 Come follow this path, long but fair for sure
Few shorter ways, temporary, easy to lure
Pick is yours, this is for peace and solitude
Those are for materialism, greed and more
The DETOURS will enlighten your SOUL for sure
Enjoy the nature, adventure, happiness and more

This was brilliant in its interpretation and meaning. I liked how it was a story where you could imagine how it keeps on going. Take care, my friend!
I love the imagery this conjures up.
Glad to know your views. Thanks. 🙂
