A Trail with No Map

I’ve walked many trails—

some paved by others,
some carved by longing,
some etched into dust by the soles of my own uncertainty.
Last night, I dreamed of a winding path that led through old schools and forgotten books,
through white flowers that flew like butterflies and strangers with stories slipping from their coats.
I didn’t know where I was going.
But I kept walking.
I met a child who mocked my age—
then smiled at the word ancient.
I remembered:
Magic doesn’t expire.
It deepens.
I held an old album, fragile with years of creativity.
And in that moment, I knew—
I am not starting over.
I am carrying something sacred forward.
This space—this quiet moment, this dream, this beginning—
isn’t a detour.
It's a place to gather the fluttering pieces of beauty
and plant them with intention.
Maybe the world feels loud and unclear.
But I still believe in the quiet blooming of things.
I believe in trails that make themselves
as we walk them. _________________ A Trail with No Map by Eris Klein Copyright © 2025 Eris Klein | All rights reserved. www.erisklein.com
