Workshopping Life's Pathway

The answers in the dice, They hold us in a vice. We run a course, We're blinded to the cause. Dawn brings our desires, Some enmeshed in briers. Life with its troubles, We're in a world of doubles. Lessons are learnt in our sojourn, Irrespective of the region. The best blessing is to be in one piece, Amidst storms recalcitrant to cease. Life is a voluminous book, No one has had an entire look. We listen to the sage, They don't see all the doors out of the cage. Exploring the disconnect, We walk in circumspect. We assiduously labour, Given a view of the harbour. Life is a mystery, Beyond the annals of history. November 23, 2022. Edited November 28, 2022. 2022 Poetry Marathon Mile 21 Poetry Contest, Mark Toney.
