Twists and turns
That you cannot fathom
As darkness is all around
And in your ear logic whispers
Walk in a straight line
That path appears solid
Urging you not to deviate
From the known trail
The tracks of the past
Reassure and reward
Too afraid to scan the sides
Lest you’d be walking alone
And into traps
You forge straight ahead
Avoiding twist and turns
Seeking consolation in numbers
And averting your eyes
From the inconvenient
Seeking the lure of mirage
The lullaby of coherence.
