The Road

"It's a dangerous business, Frodo,
going out of your door,"
he used to say.
"You step into the Road,
and if you don't keep your feet,
there is no knowing where you might be swept off to.
Do you realize that this is the very path that goes through Mirkwood,
and that if you let it,
it might take you to the Lonely Mountain
or even further
and to worse places.
