Vallis Alpes

To cross the ancient abyss of endless Vallis Alpes
Control your mental visions,
For every stone and fern is a point of no return
Teaching the import of your decisions.
A traveler treads in the wake of the preceding fellow's mistake,
Though both step in time with their wanderlust.
Beneath all the feet in the universe is a footpath that anyone may traverse
Constructed from daydreams and cosmic dust.
