The Shape of Life


In a world so full of anguish
Where so many lost do seek
to escape what now surrounds them
and beyond their boundaries peek

ever Wondering what their motive
and the shape their lives will plot
on the blank wall of the future
now it barely forms a dot

Never certain of their choices
yet they seek to find the right
each one a path they leave behind
never once brought to light

In this manner through life wander
sampling here and passing there
so many options squander
as they dissipate to air

So choose your doings wisely
never leave what should be done
and hope one day your eyes see
prizes that your life has won
