Paths

Straight, winding, crooked, flat At times clear, at times not sure where they are headed at... Choice? Destiny? Who knows what? Signs, posts, milestones or maybe not Destination or a plan, I haven't got How do I then decide where to stop? (Or more importantly, do I get to decide where to stop?) Ours may cross, more than once...or may be not If they do - let's sing and dance together If not - let's write each other letters Because, really you need very little to go on Hope or just curiosity for the adventures of a new dawn.
