Analysis of Cobbled Stones
The path to eternity
weaves and turns
As choices deceive
and judgment burns
Its labyrinth changing
and mirror lined
Voices in transit
new order unrhymed
Pursuit often folly
refusal is death
The push is internal
escaping your breath
Beginnings unending
the past in refute
Each moment unfolding
—beyond all repute
