Notes About The Poem

Figuring It Out

my mind wanders
as through 
a dense forest
reevaluating
decisions made
across the years
paths taken
those avoided

isn’t life mysterious
thinking we have it
all figured out
only to realize
it’s chaos

at times beautiful
suddenly catastrophic
orderly yet demented

nothing short
of a miracle
