When Never is Now

Certain paths are filled with dread that

You don’t want to ponder about,

And though you know they’re inevitable

You still seek an alternative route.

Never to ever endeavor to go

Down a road froth with danger and woe.

There must be a detour to

Fond destinations,

A safer direction to go.

 

But often it happens, the choices have limits

And “the never” defies common sense.

For the plethora of possibilities

Leaves the world in a whirl of suspense.

 

Faced with the never

The clever and crafty will

Find a way ‘round it somehow.

While the weak merely shrink

To the brink of kowtow

When the never is faced with the now
