Down Forgotten Paths

We walk down 
    forgotten paths 
on the way to 
     eternity 
Ancient stone structures 
   line the path 
We feel the weight 
   of the years 
on our shoulders 
  We experience a sense 
      of deja - vu momentarily 
Surely we have walked this road before
    But no, we soon realize
we soon realize we have never gone 
    before 
and that it is the way we must go 
and that we must hurry for we have a date
    with destiny

Excellent poem, Matthew. There are paths that we have to follow, even if we are not always sure of where they lead to. A date with destiny can never be discarded. a 7 rating. // paul

I would never want to be late for a date with destiny.... If we feel like we've been here before, it means that we are traveling down the wrong path once again. There is only one way that leads us to our destiny.... I love the depth of this soulful and thought provoking write. A wonderful poem, Matthew!
