Footing lost, foolishly I stumble,
Knowing not that fate, now fallow,
Has misplaced my providence.

I again come upon the same weary, white twin birches,
The bark pulled back on both,
Exposing the raw realism of their dying existence.

I place my foot into the print in the dirt,
Sadly, a perfect fit...
I sit, right in the center of the path,
Pondering...

Do I dare to stand, take steps forward,
Towards dismissing deceptive direction,
Around obtrusive obstuctions,
And allow fate to find me once again,
Guide me through this gauntlet,
Onto paths lined with laurel,
The leaves glistening,
Softly rustling on summer breeze,
Whispering subtly,
Of realized reality,
Of singularity,
Of a chosen path.

This is a great poem - Even with all the fun sound devices aside, I enjoyed the content for its own merit...

Your alliterative devices give it an extra zing, of course...
