A chapter in the book The Ottava Rima

Beyond the Bend

by adewpearl


What lies beyond the bend I cannot know,
for certitude is not life's guarantee.
No map will mark the course of each turn's flow,
so I can detour round all mystery,
nor will the dangers hidden deep below
break through the surface just so I can see.
Faith navigates with heart more than with eye,
and on that navigator I rely.
