Never watch if unbelieving,
Not every person, every being,
Endeavors after thoughts so fleeting.
The thought in mind, for mind in case,
If fought for mind, pursue the chase,
And never mind what later face,
Nor further find another race.
But then to leave unsatisfied,
Receive the win, discard the ride,
Yet some reprieve unjustified,
Indeed for those who only tried.
Why take if taken only bleed,
When taken take away the seed,
Which, untaken, grow and feed,
For where can path so taken lead?
A poem that references the moment just before...which when taken, no matter how fleeting, ends the chase unsatisfied. For why take if the taken only bleeds, when such effort could be redirected? Why indeed? Another mystery of the human psyche lies before us, in the form of untaken paths.
