TRUTH

I had the chance.
The chance is gone.
Gone for now but
not for always.

When I return
I hope I have learned.
But do we learn?
Are our choices ever right?

Do we have choices?

Maybe. But we can't make
our choices looking back.

But looking forward does not
show the truth.
The truth is between
now and then.
To catch a glimpse of it
is to stop.

Am I ready to stop?
