My beliefs tell me I have free will
But reality tells me there’s a path
Before and behind
As I watch it unfold
It winds its way through the universe
Like a haunting curse
It chugga chugs
My flesh suit to the hearse
In a burst of creativity
I believe all ways created for me
To see
That which none of us was meant to see
The sea of misery
Disbelief
That time doesn’t exist
Unless there is a reality
For you and me

Turning Pages of Life
Life’s like a book — some parts are good, others not so much. Still, keep turning the pages; you might find the best chapter next. If someone hurts you, choose to forgive or just let it be, but never change who you are for them.

Exquisitely written and loved it!!!💕❤️❤️
I love a bit of onomatopoeia in poetry! 😊👏
I enjoyed your thoughts!
nice
The sea of misery, that was so relatable. Such a poignant poem!
If only there were. My first thought is that, regardless the nature of the path lying both behind & before, it is always possible to blaze a different trail. My second thought is that, if it is possible to find a position beyond the fourth dimension of time, thus seeing all of the first four dimensions at once (part of my understanding of God as always residing beyond the furthest dimension we experience), what does that say about free will if it is possible to view all that ever is, was & will be simultaneously by anyone? Of course, part of greater dimensionality could include an infinity of parallel dimensions in which every possibility is actualized, allowing our decisions to be made freely as transferring us to any of a number of parallel closely associated dimensions to the one in which we reside currently, so there is that. And then you deliver your final three lines, in which I hear so much desire & hope as to pull me beyond all thoughts of interdimensionality, hopelessness & despair.
