Familiar and Unknown Path

I have walked on familiar roads many times in my life,
At every corner there was a court of stories.
There was the smile of the shopkeeper, and there were al.

so the waves of the pond nearby,
Those memories still play waves in my heart.
The same path, day after day, Yet every morning feels new. I know at which corner the scent of flowers will waft into my nose, I know from where an old melody will come to my ears.

Yet suddenly sometimes my feet forget, An unfamiliar path comes and stands up. All the unknown scenes catch my eye, Fear and curiosity come together in life.

Sometimes the path is unfamiliar, the unfamiliar path does not say anything before, It silently takes me somewhere far, far away. Suddenly, unfamiliar songs, Unfamiliar people, and unfamiliar souls meet on that path.

A familiar path gives comfort, gives solace, Unfamiliar paths teach courage and patience. Both are needed in the book of life, Sometimes familiar, sometimes as if it were a trap.

A familiar path returns to life again, Unfamiliar paths leave behind the gift of experience. A life line is woven on these two paths, That's why I keep walking as long as I can see.
