The Labyrinth [Poem]

Life in this world 
is a mere sojourn. 

Of the many who have gone before
who can say he truly knows the path? 

Will I follow the life-roads laid by past-men
or go where there is no path and make one? 

No one knows with absolute certainty
which life-roads lead to joy or to misery. 
                                              
Life-roads intersect and intertwine, 
forming an enigmatic labyrinth. 
                                                 
No one can foresee where any life-road leads
causing doubt to pervade each and every one. 
                                       
Thus, can it not be said with a sigh, 
that life is a sojourn through a labyrinth?
