The meaning of the word sets its own restrictions,
Often dividing those whom think they get its point
And all to often none shall win.
Some like it to be profoundly deep,
Whilst others jingle shallow bells
Making gestures to their own mystique
Yet in the learned arena, where men create the truth
There is little space for the unquantified
Unless it be their own totality
Still, it is intriguing to watch the play
Watch it focus and zoom, see the light fall dark
As the leaves scatter my way home

I ;love this piece, the tittle is very bright to the sense, take the reader in instantly, love the imagery, the flow is great, and this is a very meaningful piece.

Very interesting.
"Neither path can be the one" interesting title. It provokes a lot of images. The mind can see a lot of possibilities in the path chosen. If you choose to try for a depth of truth it can be hard pressed to decipher what you mean by those who are very shallow. If you choose the shallow path it can be construed in so many different ways that the true meaning is forever lost. Great idea you have here in this piece. Good luck in this contest. I enjoyed reading this.
