Something Got In the Way
The unforeseen transpirations from hidden forces
changed the trajectories of my life’s plotted courses.
My story’s writer is now anonymous in name.
The book being composed for me was consumed in flame.
That infamous moment which I’m forced to remember
was once a fire, but now a smoldering ember.
Paths that were once open are now closed and forbidden.
A work containing different terms had to be written.
I’m filled with questions of the events that may be next.
I am anxious with words on the pages in the text.
I now realize since those inadvertent clashes,
there’s little chance a phoenix will rise from the ashes.
