  ~~~~~~~~~~~~

Is reality myth?
Are we merely a tale
being told 'round a fire
in timeless shift?
Where notions of destiny
flicker and spark,
where options of winning
were blatantly stark
and never included
as part of the plot.
Where decisions of needing
or needing not
are less than a sliver
within the log
that burns on the fire.
And every quiver
of grandiose schemes
dissipates in smoke
along with the dreams
that no one wrote.
Can myths be real?

Thank you my friend! I thought this one had died a slow death...couldn't figure out if it was from starvation or over-indulgence (on my part, heh heh!)
I'm so glad you like it!
