Divergent Paths

We want to understand our world and humans that are in it

situations and events that shake it up and spin it

make our choices, choose our path, convinced that it is 'right'

until we see another path that's just beyond our sight

a different path but yet, the same, with others plain to see

all moving on or standing still, all people, you and me

as paths converge what happens next is basic and is right

no pushing shoving or standing ground, no need to stay and fight

a simple course correction, moving round each other with ease

to continue on our paths, no two the same you see

For all the paths eventually arrive at the same conclusion

that help us clear our hearts and minds removing our confusion

it's not the destination that was paramount, but those along the way

people, lessons, obstacles, that come with each new day

the journey that we travelled bringing thought and clarity

Be glad you chose the path you did ~ Be glad that you now see
