The Crossroads of Choice

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Crossroads of Choice

What now lies upon this path?
As silence lifts the world around?
Strewn amidst the toil and sorrow,
I watch in desperation,
For a single sign, a final call,
As life around me flails about,
Shouting out its helpless cry.

But though I know what lies ahead,
I turn to face another,
And strive to turn upon that course,
A road that be so simple,
And here it is not yet so far,
To what I see beyond.
But something deep inside me,
Stops my feet henceforth.
For though this is the path I wish,
I know I must be wrong.

So here I stand,
Upon this ground;
These stepping stones of life.
And here upon the crossroads,
I wait for that one time,
When within the battle,
Of my mind be then set right.
