I wonder how I’m doing at this stage
New quest to launch, new place to see
What story reveals itself on this page
And what our roles in it would be
Pondering the forces that twist our hearts
And reliving the events that turn our paths
Yesterday our lives headed in one direction
Yet each encounter suggests a new inclination
Various roles in lives of others we play
Sometimes an encounter is a reminder to stay
Another is exercise of the vile ego
Just like a test to pass, to learn as we go
Had I fulfilled my role I would move on
Could the game master just let me know
Then without regrets, all desire forgone
As it was written in the narrative flow
Once the dragon is slain we plan a new goal
As another game awaits, a different role
Wherever we look, the mirrors reflect
And we are facets of the great architect
