Going on and on
As if I am Merlin
Living my life in reverse,
And can somehow
Get back to that space
Before all this began,
I might pretend
I can get
What I’m not entitled to,
Where I might start over
And undo all the mistake
Before I actually
Make them,
When we all know
None of that is possible,
Condemned to repeat them
In some fashin or another,
Or crash into brick walls
Unanticipated.
I have to stop
While I’m still ahead,
Before I get lost in space,
Again,
And can’t find my way
Back home.
There is no going back,
No turning aside,
Except onto a path
I should not tread on,
The least traveled
For a good reason,
Full of detours and
Signs of danger,
Sometimes it is
A good idea
To follow the
Well-traveled track,
Getting where we
Intended to go
In the first place.
