Two paths diverged…

Which one to take?

One travels back in time

to a time never understood

by your mind or mine.

Bruises, scars, and emptiness light its way.

On second thought that’s not the path for me,

not yesterday, tomorrow, or today……

I’ll take the one I’ve known best,

follow my heart,

trust what’s inside my chest,

somehow it has

always

known

best.

I won’t look back

with any regret,

He can’t remember

what I’ll never forget.

It’s all very clear to see

I’ll never know him

He’ll never know me.

Two paths diverged….

Sorry I could not take either

I turned around and retreated,

History’s mistakes end with me,

they won’t be repeated.

With a bounce in my step

and love in my heart,

August 14^th, 1979 marked

my brand new start.
