'to place my feet upon on a darkly, rich path through life.' this created a comfortable vision for me, much like the dark trails i travel myself. this was intriguing and felt great on my tongue. mouth candy. i actually spoke it twice just to have the pleasure again. *cheers* very well put and placed. ~ta
