Choices

Like tree roots,
the future takes its possibilities,
endlessly bifurcating,
twisting, bending, spreading,
into the darkness of what might never be,
or wished for anything but,
and we are left with choices
slipping through our hands,
so many different paths,
no light upon the way,
but choose, decide,
fate prepares the new,
and blind we stumble forward,
onward to the end.
