Simplicity

So I sit here thinking
Wondering where all those years went
When my life was spent
Wondering on what path to choose
When in reality it was already chosen for me
I looked into the future and I did see
What life would eventually bring to me

But alas I did not believe
That from life I would get a reprieve
A second chance
To dance life's dance
To my own tempo
I guess it can be so

In the Snow

When I heard from Snow
It was like a wake up call
An alarm sounded in my being
Waking me up from sleep
And I could hear familiar sounds
Sounds I remember hearing before
But I wanted to not listen anymore

So my consciousness arose once more
Seeking that simplicity
That was always dear to me
You cannot like a man
Silence your soul
And drift into a comfort zone
Over which you have no control

And so I once more awoke
From another sleep
Giving thanks that I once again
Am on that journey
Where it will lead only God knows
But it is an honor to be on that road
Down life's pathway
For in the end I would have done it
"My way"
