Pretzel Logistics

And thus, the sunlight clears the way
for the patterns that occur,

when shadows dance throughout the day
and life's mysteries we endure.

It's not the shadows that ruin the time
that rules the morning's haste,

but it's the dawn, that's suspect...crime
and can allow this kind of waste.

One must discern fate lightening quick
in time's neverending sea,

understanding is the trick
towards resolution, and that's the key.

Be not a victim in fate's wake
through the meadow, one must plow...

let your actions be for goodness sake
towards serendipity we must bow.

Because what slips away from each
are the principles of a life,

the shadows of the day will teach
fate's lessons from fate's knife.

Be careful you don't squander out
all logic sent to you...

for it will never do to doubt
what's prominent and true !
