I walked patiently down the road

I felt free from all loads

I was calm and ready

The road was long and steady

Then another destination came to view

An idea I never knew

The road was not straight

At the end I saw two gates

It started to break and fall

I didn’t know who to call

It broke suddenly in two ways

I looked one way then drew my gaze

I looked the other and took a step

Then caught my breath

Two decisions

Two gates

One way

I knew all I could do was pray

I knelt down

My cry the only sound

I felt the peace I sought

It was one I never fought

Then I took my step

And entered the gate

Knowing just where to go.
