Choice

The soul sits upon the hilltop of choice

Potential awaiting kinetic 
Stillness awaiting force
The soul waits upon that which will push it
That it may descend down the mountain of decision 
And pursue it's desire
The soul is not always aware 
That luck isn't always fair to guide away from destruction
The passion it chooses will guide it 
Until it loses itself for the sake of something greater
For whether it is now or later
The soul will chase it's desire
It will grasp that which it longs for 
And there are two sides of the mountain
One with good fortune
And one leading to derision 
Influencing the longing and the final decision of direction each way neglecting protection of the absence of the another 
This is life. 
Man sits upon that hilltop as he is born
Evil and good on his right and his left
If worldly joy he chases there is one result he faces and that is the fire that consumes, but he will always be able to round the mountain before he meets death's gloom in the tomb
On the contrary those who choose life, or are chosen by life cannot be lost 
Though they may swerve from the direct route 
There is no way about the mountain of life to condemn them 
For their is no access to the other side
But some are slower than others
True passion is driven so sweetly 
It sees it's goal and runs to greet thee
So whether death or life the soul is curious to that which will truly satisfy
And that drives it down the mountain 
That is the longing to which a soul will drink in one side of life's fountain
So if the soul longs for one, the passion that will breath in its lungs will not be stopped as it descends mountain and all dirt, rocks,
