People often say <br />‘you’re born as an empty page’ <br />perhaps awaiting a script <br />or someday, to write your own _ <br /> <br />but life’s twists and turns <br />add a flurry of uninvited guests. <br />Some may ruffle or turn your world <br />upside down. <br /> <br />Some roads are dead ends <br />and some are blocked <br />while life leads you down <br />a different path. <br /> <br />Few get to travel along <br />the same road for too long <br />and maybe that’s a good thing, <br />or maybe not? <br /> <br />I hope your road is smooth, <br />lined with friendly faces <br />to ease your way <br />and help if times get tough <br /> <br />Life is a big conundrum, <br />why are you here, <br />where are you going, <br />who are your allies? <br /> <br />It’s a perverse play, <br />your opening lines have been written <br />but the ending is not yet spun <br />and the scenes go quickly by.<br /><br />Ruth Walters<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/life-s-play/
