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

It's all that and more; had to "fav" this one; smoothly unfolding with wonderful imagery.
