At first I thought the path was dark
but as we walked
the shadows seem to turn
to something real
illumined slightly by the stars
and leading us through mystery  

I began to talk of something in  my past
but found it hard when
overwhelmed completely by the present.
It left me babbling like a child
not knowing whether love is
holding back or letting go  

We paused a moment to find out
where we were and where to go
and reminisce upon a recent
poem that once I read
which said that life should have a plan
but doesn't
And need should know
exactly where it's going
but seldom does.
