Past Destiny



the road was once straight and wide

oftentimes going uphill or down...

sometimes, it was windy and dangerous

oftentimes it turned left or right...

the road could be concrete or asphalt

or even gravel or dirt but it was a

road nonetheless that took us somewhere;

the road went from one location to

another delivering goods and services

to those in need and occasionally to

those who were not in need...

the road was built years ago by some

alien civilization to whom we refer

to as human beings...  and, most of their

colonies survived hundreds of years...

the road was forgotten a millennia ago

and is now left in decay and ruin and

every once in a while, in the middle of

the night, one can dimly see the image

of a creature walking along its surface

retracing footsteps to its past destiny.
