im'm not much for titles, just wanted to get some thoughts on a new poem.

what guides us through the journey of life?
is it fate?
destiny?
are we all on preordained paths,
travelling up and down,
following the contours of our fortunes

or is it something else?
do we make our own fate
do we decide our own own paths
does our own will lead us
throug the stormy waters to saftey?

maybe it's both...
maybe...
we're given our paths at the beginning
but are required to rise up and meet this path at the crossroads
and travel the path of our choice
on our own

where does it lead?
why do we go?
is there reason for journey?
for our being?
for our love?
for our lives?

how do we ever know?
will we?
are the shadows of mystery always going to over cast the truth?
what is truth?
good?
bad?

what is good?
a hero?
a smile?
love?

what is bad?
evil?
torment?
hate?

what causes good?
what causes evil?
is something regarded as good by you
regarded as evil by other?
are you the good?
the just
the pure

what are you?
are you a hero of your time?
sent to protect
to lead
to give hope?

are you evil?
do your actions cause destruction
pain
vilolence

Maybe...
our lives are insignificant
our actions mean nothing
affect noone
and we have no control
and the only sure things in our life si the end
death
but then again, maybe not....

does paradise come at the end?
does the light shine?
where is this place?
high?
low?
here?

maybe... it's Eden
yeah..Eden
Heaven on Earth
the etenal garden
Eden...

home...
