Unseen Destinations

Are we like ants,

navigating the plains of fate,

choosing our own paths

without any notion of where they may take us?

or

Are we more like leaves

being held captive by the currents of a mighty river,

left to journey upon the waves

until we reach the sea?

These ceaseless questions garner no answers,

and so the only thing we’ve left to do

is journey into that great unknown.
