Pathways of August<\/em>
\nand summer’s end<\/em>
\nhave taken me once more<\/em>
\nto places I’ve already seen,<\/em>
\nto some I’ve never been,<\/em>
\nand to many I’ve wanted<\/em>
\nto see once again.<\/em><\/font><\/font><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

They’ve taken me <\/em>
\nthrough the Arizona desert<\/em>
\nto the City of the Sun;<\/em>
\nto the foot of mountain peaks<\/em>
\nwhere I stood and looked up in awe;<\/em>
\nto the far side of the rainbow<\/em>
\nwhere the tranquil waters flow;<\/em>
\nto the ocean’s edge<\/em>
\nand paradise dreams<\/em>
\nand the daily miracles found<\/em>
\nin the rising <\/em>
\nand setting <\/em>
\nof the sun.<\/em><\/p>\n

And once again the journey,<\/em>
\nthese pathways that I find,<\/em>
\nlead me to places high and low,<\/em>
\non land and sea and in the air,<\/em>
\nall leading eventually to the center<\/em>
\nwhere I find each time<\/em>
\na little bit more of the me<\/em>
\nI thought I had left behind.<\/em><\/p>\n

And the pathways of August,<\/em>
\nthrough Summer’s End,<\/em>
\nlead me back home<\/em>
\nrefreshed and renewed<\/em>
\nwithin the sunset’s glow.<\/em><\/p>\n
