Destinations
Tomorrows hinge
on one decision.
In all directions:
consequence.
Momentum dwells
in every step,
progressions trending
backward, forth,
some bending by
a point of peace
or heading for a
wasteland plagued.
Degrees of causes
finely drive
effects toward unknown
destinations:
one smidgen off
may lead near love
or veer into
new desolation
or end someplace
no one expects
beyond the road
no hope selects.
To do, remain,
be still, or voice:
such influence
in one small choice!
Those futures you
would gain or lose
commence, right here,
with what you choose.
