Standing at a crossroads I see two paths before me As the sun sets slowly in my eyes Just out of the forest And into the open plain Not knowing where my home lies But still, a choice to be made Will it lead me home or not? Home to where the heart knows rest Will I get there someday? I tremble, the shadows come And I doubt if I’ll pass the test A choice is made, one path I tread its winding way To behold others, their own choices Intertwining with my own Leading to the same convergence Silence unites all of our voices Knowledge gained That ends remain, For everyone, The same |

Reading this really makes a knot come up into my chest.....argh. I can relate to this in a more painful way unfortunately. Sucks to be wandering around in life wondering where you *fit in* 'eh? I have been struggling with this now for 6 months or more. You sure know how to put my heart on paper - fabulous read you have here. Bravo! |

"To behold others, their own choices Intertwining with my own Leading to the same convergence Silence unites all of our voices Knowledge gained That ends remain, For everyone, The same" "Silence unites all of our voices"...what a creative line, this. I think you've managed to express (and skillfully so) what so many of us feel when adrift in that search for self. (and self's self) An excellent depiction. ~ Claire [This message has been edited by Meadowmuse (edited 03-08-2000).] |
