Wise Ways

A trap he saw

Where none exists

So he tread lightly

In starts and fits.

Courage now, he must resist

Running to beat high heaven.

No traps back where he bin.

None to the left.

None to the right.

Some traps, he knew, came out at night.

But those weren’t the traps that delivered fright

It was traps of the mind, they were there alright.

Day or darkness

They were part of this

Plan to bring him down.

Those traps were all around.

Right inside his thinking.
