Unknown Possibilities
Location
What if this is the end?
What if this is all I'll ever know?
For this I cannot judge.
For today I am not what I will be tomorrow
Nor what I was yesterday, nor the day before
Nor what I am to become in years beyond this
My life is for me to create
As well as mine to destroy
It is the clay, and I the sculptor
My hands forever shaping
And my life forever spinning and changing
Into the kiln it will never enter
For that means it is finished
To be burned until unchangeable
And made brittle and hollow
Until eventually it cracks and wears away
I reject this outcome of my life
It is not my desire to settle
My life to be settled upon, no
My life will always change
And I must along with it
It is my duty to form and reform my being
I cannot expect what was yesterday or today
To be that of tomorrow all the same
I will, however, use their experience
To form a new paradigm; a new frame of mind
One that will put me on a new path
Your being was a path I chose to take
One I did not expect to travel
What I was to encounter was unknown to me
And that is why I chose it above all others:
The outcomes were virtually infinite
Would it lead to a vast metropolis?
With buildings resembling my ambitions and desires
Constantly growing taller and taller
Once the top floor is reached, the one above is now ready to be explored
Or would it lead to a lush garden?
One filled with such flowers never before seen
That would open my eyes to beauty and love
I did not know existed in this world
No matter where this new path leads
It will never lead to nothing
For even if the end becomes a void
I will create a new path for myself in the brush
One with new possibilities and experiences
My life is and forever will be a journey
One with no foreseeable resolution
With every choice I make, a new paragraph is written
Maybe a new chapter instead, in the story of my life
I am the writer, and I will never stop writing.
