Labyrinth
LABYRINTH
In dream I followed labyrinthine ways
Of paths to my beginning whence I’d roam
But myriad of signs that marked my strays
Were faded and unclear, could not lead home
The choices that I made along the way
Laid out the part I’d play, set forth my track
The roads I followed led me to this day
This place and viewpoint set; no going back
Regret cannot amend the stage I stand
Nor cancel one line in the parts I’ve played
From all the journeys chosen or unplanned
The being that I am - of these I’m made
Thus life that we determine and avow
Begins not in the past but in the now
