All Roads Lead Somewhere
All roads lead somewhere.
Even the ones we don’t know we are on.
Even the paths we believe
will lead us to a promised land.
Especially the dead ends.
Back up.
Turn around.
Head in a different direction.
The broad avenue of our youth
becomes a narrow lane in old age,
bringing us back
to the place we started from.
