Through Snaky Lanes I Wander

Through snakey lanes I wander,

Along moist slimy walls.
Trying to find my way out,
Into heavens illuminated halls.

To flow or carve? .......Destiny or will?

Through snakey lanes I wander,
Blink my eyes in the dark.

The farther I seem to be.
The hot dank sewage smell,
Tells me, its hell that I see.

I decided to see,
Whether what I had heard was truth or hearsay.
Although I find it difficult to climb,
I agreed to join this treacherous mime.

When I arrived at the camp site,
I was dumbstruck and beholden with the sight,
Which stood before my very eyes.
Snow covered mountains, gushing streams, and the beautiful sunrise. And as I saw the various moods,
Of nature and it's various goods,
I slowly started to understand,
Why it is called the Land of God,
