The Path to Redemption is a Mobius Strip (Almost a Villanelle)


The paths unerringly converge
No road has ever seemed so clear
For nothing new lies past the verge
(There's nothing left for me elsewhere)

I've miles to go and thoughts to purge
About mistakes that brought me here
The paths unerringly converge
(And where they lead I do not care)

Driven by no more than an urge
To turn my back on all my fears
For nothing new lies past the verge
(I took the lighter load to bear)

And to the day they sing my dirge
I'll take this road and never veer
The paths unerringly converge
For nothing new lies past the verge
(I set out with a backward stare)
