Laces

Life and it's struggles

We lace ourselves into the many binding shoes

of society and into our everstretching minds.

The laces fastened tight, until that day you've walked to far

past the edge and into another time of day.

Where the days are not so much the same and the path behind looks like nothing from which i've just came.

The life before me changing, the laces wearing out.

As the shoes get left behind for someone else to step into and find that paths life lessons.

For i've outgrown that pair to start anew a path possibly less traveled.

With a fresh pair of shoes laced up to the top, the challenges are set every step i'm growing stronger, in the hopes of a rememorable tomorrow.

The days that lay behind me overstretched for endless miles, and my life has only just begun.

I'm not backing down i'm facing this till i strike the ground, till i find my last pair of shoes all laced up tp go, to teach me  i've been found.

I have alot of roads to travel and alot of shoes to wear.

I'm going till the end until my mind is free to bear that life is not some game you only get one chance and from the first step on you can't ever take it back

... magical ... is what this verse is ... a cosmos of existentialist philosophy ... simple, profound and elegant and by no means simplistic ... beautifully conceived and rendered ... "the shoe" has been deployed with impeccable skill to symbolize the different dimensions of that journey called life ... great verse ...
