Is This By Design

I walk down the path is this course true?
These pieces join that become part of you.
Some seem to come from out of the blue.
As I cross over the first line I once drew.

Sometimes I wander from a will that is free.
The path is dark and narrow, hard to see.
I wander if I strayed or was this just to be?
Fate and free will join creating this path for me.

Maybe we are interactive with the paths design?
Or is all predestined the pieces that we find?
Is it an illusion we all create in our minds?
Sometimes the world seems quite unkind.

Each day the journey brings something new.
It becomes a collection of all I’ve been through.
I look all around searching for the next clue.
It seems like the same picture from a new view.

My mind starts to tire I need to sleep.
I start to think am I in way too deep.
The seed you sow you shall reap,
As I see what it cost, it wasn’t cheap.
