In the forest deep where shadows lie,

A path winds through, beneath the sky.

A warning given, clear and stern,

Stay on the path, each step discern.

For off the path, the dangers loom,

In ancient trees, where darkness blooms.

A single step could shift the tide,

And change the course we cannot hide.

The future’s thread is fragile, thin,

Stay on the path, let order win.

In echoes of the past, we see,

The bootprints of what’s meant to be.
