Intersections
by Linda Ellis, copyright 2016
This lifelong journey, an invisible map
without a pre-determined route,
a voyage plotted through twists and turns
and decisions filled with doubt.
Individually, we plot our paths
and yet they still connect,
for we do not get to choose with whom
these paths will intersect.
Be it happenstance,
destiny,
or celestial direction,
our lives are built by each
unintended intersection.
Whether roads are smooth to tread upon,
or wrought with rocks and gravel,
our destination is determined
by the ones we choose to travel.
Every passage is uncharted,
no guarantee or guided tours;
my choices are solely mine to make,
and yours… uniquely yours.
Sublime or ill-fated,
each intersection holds the key
to the door of the tomorrows
we’re not permitted to foresee.
