Choices

Corner stone Something to be set Is it the provenience? Once set can we journey From the path Or is it our only mission in this life Does God allow us different journeys? A turn on a dime Or is it all just laid out In some project managers mind? We had to start somewhere A direction had to be set For no ship leaves port without destination Unless your on a whim Is that whim yours or just fate Something you could not escape Do we have choice or has some Scribe below already penciled it in? We make believe we have choices But what did we really do Light a fire and walk away Into the great Milky Way.

Thank God for free will. I have similar questions pass through my brain but not exactly in these words. A nice train of thought written down, I'd say. All I know is that everything that we do, it will effect something or someone along the way. What we leave behind in this world, who knows? Someone else may carry it along. This poem got my mind off the path a bit. I liked it! Always, Laura

They say we all cast a shadow in this world. And as you say we effect something or someone along the way. Let's just hope it is in a positive way. Kilmer

Enjoyed the Interesting thoughtfulness and contemplation... Turning on dimes and whims seems to be my specialty, and now I am left to wonder how much of it is fate? I especially love the last 2 lines :)
