Your Allotted Patch

Some stay in their allotted patch,

some go beyond.

Boundaries are not prison walls

but suggestions.

 

Would you like to stay within?

Going across the line brings pleasures

of its own.

Stay. Go.

Each is a reflection of the will.

I will, today,

cross over to a greener grass.

I will, another day,

retreat into a corner of my box.

Being boxed in is temporary.

An allotted patch does not determine me.

All paths are open, all are closed—

depending only on the day, the weather,

the portents of the stars.

Each day I wake to see my direction.
