along the road to wisdom
we take many other paths
that look most promising
only to find they were
detours... taking us away
from the road on which
we needed to be... we are
alarmed by our inability to
make correct decisions,
our inability to make
correct judgements until
fully experiencing the
wrong turns we took along
the way... but the way was
never marked - there were
no signs to guide or to
directed our movements...
we were left forsaken,
abandoned, left to perish
in the vast wilderness of
life - a life of which we
knew very little... not at
all like we had imagined,
where it was gifted and
wrapped with a bow...
spoiled and infatuated, we
stumbled our way through
life, carrying what we could
in our pockets like the coins
of the ancients... a mess of
life we made, until wisdom
informed us in no uncertain
terms - it no longer mattered.
