The pages turn faster every day.
Reading more slowly,
I savor the words.
A leisurely review of my life story.
Wandering through misleading halls,
rooms without doors, towers without stairs.
whispers reflect, evidently
answering unspoken questions.
Evaluating triumphs and losses.
acknowledging mistakes
of thought and action,
realizing my faith has failed.
Reading more slowly,
I savor the words
and wonder who will hear my tale
when there is no audience?
Understanding finally
the darkest secrets:
nobody knows, and Fate
only arrives at the end.
