"Life Journey"...

 In the middle of our Life Journey 

 I found myself in a dark wood.

I had wandered from the path.

It isn't easy to talk about it;

 it is such a thick, wild, and rough forest

that when I think of it my fear returns...

I can't offer any good explanation

for how I entered it.

I was so sleepy at that point

that I strayed from the

right Path.
