Paths Diverge


When approaching a maze, there is one entrance

It is a beginning that all must pass through

Yet the direction taken once entered,

well,

That is up to the taker.

 

A true maze has multiple answers,

With different correct approaches;

So that no matter the number of members,

well,

There's a path that can be made new.

 

Yet an authentic maze has incorrect answers,

The dead-ends we all have seen;

The unique trait about these answers,

well,

They aren't as permanent as they seem.

 

Each step that is taken,

Each dead-end rerouted,

It all adds to our own paths;

Some may get lucky,  and others stuck,

But we'll persist

And end up up finding our way.

 

The paths diverge, the corners split,

Yet we all reach the same, yet different, 

Exit.
