driving round the bend
I met Wisdom on the way
it showed a different path
I was not willing to stay
I met Wisdom on the way
I saw peace on that side, but
I was not willing to stay
narrow vision pushed me hard
I saw peace on that side, but
thought I'll come back later
narrow vision pushed me hard
moving goalposts made me spin
thought I'll come back later
today I just idly wonder
moving goalposts made me spin
what was on the road I did not take
today I just idly wonder
driving round the bend
what was on the road I did not take
it showed a different path .....
Oh, the number of times we have balked at life – beautifully expressed, Reena.
