Analysis of These Pages
Blank book
Not yet written.
We write the story,
Even if our fingers are frost-bitten.
We make the path,
The beginning, the middle, and the end.
It all depends on how we live.
The sands of time will never tend.
These pages that we seem to ignore,
Will decide our book.
We must learn not the ways of fools.
You never know what lies ahead, even if you take a look.
