What Matters

First,
and before anything breathes,
there is a push.
It shapes our lives,
actions,
and gives us a choice.

A path; current
is created.
Our lives follow a straight,
undisturbed line of thought,
Is it destiny?
Was it always meant to unfold?

It isn't.
Every choice,
Word,
Thought,
Action,
Movement.
Every breath of ours,
every step,
every laugh,
and our very existence,
has a twin.

For all the choices,
All the worlds we shape,
have their brothers
(and their sisters, of course)
The river still flows as it branches in two.

Is it meaningless?
For if the choice we chose to leave; abandon
Still floats on the eternal river of time.
