The Paths of The God and The Thief
By - Hazel Alexia Lecter (AKA Haze)


The paths of the god and the thief
Are worn as one into the earth
And every falling of a leaf
To the forest floor gives new birth

Whatever we do in our life
The consequences shape the world
When all our efforts come to strife
All our hopes seem to have been hurled

In the darkness of cloudy night
Nobody sees us as we weep
And feeling winter's chilling bite
The once-strong will has gone to sleep

When everybody seems a foe
And every step seems more forlorn
We must seek out the way to go
With every step our paths are worn

Our destiny is ours to make
The great cup of life has been poured
Richness of soul is there to take
In taking the thief is made lord

We can help ourselves to this wealth
And leave plenty behind beside
>From life's cup we drink to our health
And so we can cast care aside

The future is a tangled wood
Yet still for its secrets we yearn
We all leave our tracks in the mud
So others will know where to turn

The paths of the god and the thief
Are worn as one into the earth
And every falling of a leaf
To the forest floor gives new birth
