Life-changing Decision

One day, one moment, one decision

Based on a nebulous, imperfect vision

Took the road I was not planning to take

Did not make the choice I thought I would make

Two decades ago a decision I made

To an alternate life goodbye I bade

Never looked back, stashed the whole episode away

In a corner of my memory, until it surfaced one day..

*

If I had chosen the alternative path, where would I be?

The question came to haunt me suddenly

There are two sides of a coin, did the side I chose

Lead to a better life, or did it inadvertently close

Further avenues that would have been open to me

Had I made my choice differently?

*

I made a life-changing decision

Guided purely by my intuition

The road less traveled by I did not take

Hopefully the best decision I did make
