Many different angles
and variations
all further comprised
of multiple combinations
left to be deciphered systematically
transparent in due time...
As one's journey unfolds,
Choices vary,
yet beyond all logic
the finale has already been mapped out.
Upon our arrival
we instinctively rely on our devices
a fatal flaw
as we strategically search
for obvious conclusions
to each chapter we uncover.
Along the way detours arise
and free will overrides our path
If we stray from basic instructions
the consequences mount,
to our detriment...
whereas if we embrace obedience
our possibilities become endless.
Yet at the end of it all
as one submits our purpose becomes clear
and the end result reveals
one step closer to perfection.

Wow, drawing a blank... hold on while I read it again!
OK, wow again. Life presents a multifaceted combination of choices and paths for us to make and follow. We often can't see our true journey for the choices in front of us. We scream at the heavens, "what do I do now?" while the obvious conclusion eludes us and we follow blindly our own path. This is an amazing piece of work. So eloquent and full of thought. Thank you so much for entering my contest and good luck!
