Cairns of Life
And so the cairns of life
stretch out ahead;
Pieces of the past left
to inform the future
stretching as far as the eyes
of the soul can see.
Small moments of time and
decisions made.
Dyes cast.
Large bundles of sins
and mounds of love.
Mistakes made; goals attained.
All gifts of experience
stacked together
in a guide to travel on
to the next cairn;
Always moving ahead.
Some are turned over and
scattered about; completely confused
Tumbled and jumbled
as in times of war and
times of reformation.
Slowly gathering back together
to create new paths;
Options really
For the future to be informed
by the past.
Eyes of the soul
be not blind
and heed the
cairns of life.
