Sometimes It Happens

Sometimes it happens
As life would have it
That we are given new ways
And new opportunities
To bang our heads solidly
Against a wall we've never met

And sometimes, as it happens,
We figure it all out suddenly ...
No longer do we bang our heads
Against new walls across our paths
But learn to embrace the wall
With our whole being

What happens after all that
Of course depends on us
I mean, did we find a doorway?
Tear it down? Build steps?
Oh, there are so many options
Once one stops banging their head.
