Destiny

I can sit here

Watching you drift by

My world, my lake of dreams

Speculating, analyzing

Twisting truth, rhyming reason

Or I can lift up these wings

Of chance and fate

Arise to the unknown

Set sail into the wind

And let go

Strange

Sometimes you travel down a path

Before knowing you are on it

Time ticks and toys with your intentions

Space grows large enough to swallow you whole

Highways, byways lead to nowhere

Signs are non existent, lights are out

You surrender to the map of fate

Blindly hoping it will bring you back

To the warm, familiar place

You took for granted

To the smiles, the love, the laughter

Away from the “strange”
