Allez Avec Moi?

I consider my path through this dark and overgrown,
and you are welcome
to meander with me -
but the longer you dawdle,
the more impatient I grow.
Lace up your own boots,
(I am mother to no one but me)
and let's go.

Otherwise, I am content to
walk by myself.
I make excellent company
for me.

"Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin."
