i slid off the wagon
down the rabbit hole
it was the path of least resistance
down the chute
and up the ladder
to sit on the fence
beside myself
i heard the beat of a different drummer
and took the road not commonly chosen
to stand in a field of dreams
i seized a moment
from the passage of time
turned on a dime
and found myself at a crossroads
two steps forward and one step back
dancing with myself
i crossed the line
into parts unknown
to read the writing on the wall
everyone has an opinion
they're a dime a dozen
dig a little deeper and you might uncover
a pearl of wisdom
in the sands of time
that one in a million
food for thought
