Little time, if any, is ever foolishly spent sitting idle.
Should such a soul, make the effort to reflect upon from where they began,
Constantly seeking, unseen guides who are often journeying right alongside,
Sent as constant companions by the Master, the Chosen One.

With every step, Free Will is carried, at times like a burden.
This can result in courses taken where boulders, markedly, are strewn.
Thus, a moment, a brief pause might render the path traveled less laborious.
Little time, if any, is ever foolishly spent sitting idle.

To stop and reflect upon the chosen path told to be so straight and narrow,
the one drew out with repeated assurances in the "Good Book" like a map,
would with such loving wisdom ring loud, resoundingly bringing one back on course,
Should such a soul, make the effort to reflect upon from where they began.

Whether you take a path rife with boulders or one with steppingstones
Your journey is yours to take. For each day comes opportunities known or not
that can be heavy and burdensome, or a course one has taken seem quite smooth when
constantly seeking, unseen guides who are often journeying right alongside,

So, pause, reflect, make time, and then you too shall surely know
Everyone's journey has a beginning and a certain end
As you traverse a life filled with nothing but steppingstones, with your servitors,

Sent as constant companions by the Master, the Chosen One.

Author Notes
the Potlatch Club: Cascade
*There is no set meter or rhyme scheme.
*The defining feature of the form is that the lines of the first stanza are repeated as refrain lines in subsequent stanzas to give a "cascading effect".
* Line 1 of stanza 1 is repeated as the last line of Stanza2,
*Line 2 of stanza 1is repeated as the last line of Stanza3, and so on until all lines in Stanza1 have been used.

NOTE: Servitor: someone who performs the duties of an attendant for someone else.
