War does not always end when the thunder fades. Memory returns in waves; grief finds its way into dreams; faith asks us to keep walking.The Paths Lead Only Forward gathers 54 poems about service, loss, love, nature, and the long passage from conflict toward renewal. Moving from battlefields and high walls to rivers, trees, animals, prayer, and the quiet work of mercy, the collection inhabits the borderlands between endurance and healing.For readers drawn to reflective poetry about service, grief, spiritual resilience, and the natural world, these poems offer neither easy answers nor surrender, only the conviction that the path still leads forward.©2026 N.
