I am not sure where I have been

Sometimes,
choices that we assume we have made
have such direct, consequent results
that divergent paths from today to next year
appear with a clarity that seldom happens
when we intend to plan our futures.

These decisions are such that we have never
entertained them at all -- but if we had
there would not be the clarity that suddenly exists.

We suddenly can respond definitely "yes" or "no."
Two roads in the middle of nowhere both logical,
maybe possible, and we nod and think we think
and choose some wandering path of wonder
and know without a doubt it is the road to heaven.
