Poetry
life's choices
Life unfolds as an intricate skyscraper of decisions and challenges, each moment standing alone on a concrete floor meticulously stacked one atop the other. These choices loom over us, casting long shadows that influence our paths. At birth, we find ourselves positioned on the mid-levels of this towering edifice, where every step is a negotiation between ascent and descent, guided by the weight of our choices. Each stair we take leads us either upward to new heights or downward into the depths of our past decisions, shaping our journey profoundly.
Life is a series of choices
Some were chosen in haste
Consequences be dammed…
Others laboured far too long.
Clarity in tea leaves, cards
Mysteries of a Crystal Ball
One’s future is not known
No beacon of light in the fog
Steering us clear of danger
Clear of the rocks, choices
That wait for our fall
Is it humanities curse
Or a blessing…bestowed
Some choices are correct, as
Others yell out in challenge
Choices and decisions await
One can rise to our challenges
Or have others decide our path
Consequences reign for both
Written in the Book of Time
Without free will and choice
Humanity would be but a rock
Fixated in time with no future
No spirit…one without a soul
