Pathways

These days the sun's fading rays
Don’t light the path you're leading
Neither do the night's darkened ways
Accord with your heart's inner reading. 

Though the past in whispered asides
Draws you back to the lost paths of old
You stride on shaking off the mere cold
Knowing your choice is chosen forever.

Because fate (*brushed off*) merely decides
Whereas destiny with others always coincides.
