The Path You Are On
by Bruce Eisen
The path you seek is hard to find
Cause in the way is your mind
Every step you take,
it moves away
Like a receding object out in space
As you reach, it moves in place
To escape your grasp, it falls away
Reaching out to find you’re in the way
Why start again it will be the same
The path, your grasp, they too collide
Never known until you step aside
Cause in the way is your mind
Every step you take,
it moves away
Like a receding object out in space
As you reach, it moves in place
To escape your grasp, it falls away
Reaching out to find you’re in the way
Why start again it will be the same
The path, your grasp, they too collide
Never known until you step aside
Bruce Eisen began his poetry career in 7th grade when he won the school-wide poetry contest with his poem, "Window." Since high school, Bruce has been writing poems for his romantic interest using primarily Iambic pentameter. His influences include the stream of consciousness writing of James Joyce, the extemporaneous oratory found in the Greek classics, and his study of philosophy. Bruce is in the process of publishing his second book, The Book of Lost Poems.
