~~~ Leaven ~~~ - The Pathway Home

O that lonely road
Straight and narrow,
That solemn journey
So silent; melancholy

Leading thee unto
That glorious light far off.

Press onward,
Toward that Holiest Glow
With each righteous step

And veer not right nor left
For on either side
Is unending darkness

An abyss, a chasm.

With each stride
Hold steadfast unto the rod
And marcheth ye hither so nigh

And leave behind thee
That valley of death’s shadow
That showed unto thee the…

Pathway home.
