Tomorrow is Your Choice

road kept winding down
path climbed steep
walk curved in circles
many promises to keep
each step, leaden feet
sweating hard on the grind
faster you run
further seems the find

life mirrored
today, yesterday and now
pulling with all your might
on binding chains somehow
trapped in a race
duties defined
your script, thoughts, dreams
left far behind

is there a time better than now
to pause and stretch wide
break the shackles
swim against the tide
rise on wings of the sun
it crowns rays you emit
Today is history,
Tomorrow is what you make of it.
