I knew there was a turn
but it never turned up
and I kept walking straight
in search of it.
The road was familiar
the turn was on the left
in every known way
yet in the broad daylight
it left me.
I know you wouldn't believe it
neither did I
as alike a puzzled wayfarer
I kept on looking for the turn.
It happened to me.
P'raps it happens in other lives too,
the turn always there
keeps eluding.
Then when found,
it's no longer needed.
