"Paths of Life"


Paths of life intersected Each one intertwined in some way. All leading in different directions, One must contemplate which one to embark on to experience lives journey. The complexities of this are intricate, For each road leads to the next making them a unified structure. The question now becomes how does one choose if they are all interconnected? This in itself is a mystery like a diamond in the rough So intense, that not even the most experienced eye cannot comprehend its grandeur. Perhaps the byways of life are not meant to go unexplored; Each one with its time and place in the Creator God’s plans which will unfold in due season. Life’s journey is never complete, For it continues on long after our departure from this world. Through a series of rebirths we excavate the paths Examining the crevices of our complex mind Searching for our purpose in life, Hidden in the depths of sorrow; revealed as the clouds of doubt are chipped away. It is not by mere fate that we are called to discover these paths, But rather by destiny grabbing us by the hand to realize who we really are. These streets in life are never to be left unexplored. We must tread onward with immense bravery to reveal our Divine purpose, Our reason to exist in this paradox we call life. A series of contradictions that have no reason or rhyme That we will never understand until we rise from the ashes like the Phoenix That rises in the horizon from the ashes of the past, To join in harmony, the past, present, and the future journey of our souls.

RebelPoet

A small town New England poet from CT. I like figuring out ways to make words work. Suppose you could call me a Rebel Poet. I write about your standard themes in different ways. I also write about experiences, changes, etc. I'd like it if you'd read what I post and leave constructive criticism. I don't consider debates constructive or conducive to writing, though.
