Sleeping Bear Dunes: The Trail Not Taken

The Trail Not Taken

Our trail began where the others ended,
beyond the field with fences mended.
The signs marked options left & right,
but we kept straight away from the light
Into the darkness of the trees
we emerged on a shore that no one else sees.
Two trails emerged in a green wood,
but we made our own because we could.

At Sleeping Bear Dunes,
our trail side trek started out on a charted course via Bay View Trail.
However, we diverged
& discovered a new way to the water.
