path (Bill Temple)

my path is unclear

perhaps because 

i am not fully certain

of where i want to be

they say with age comes wisdom

but often i find 

the opposite is true

as my directions become confused

my thoughts stray

i had dreams once but reality

had a mind of its own

and disallowed me to

reach beyond my own grasp

so i find myself now

wondering what if

what could have been 

what should have been

but at the same time

i have found a contentment

perhaps, just perhaps

i don't need a path anymore
