The Final Crossroad I came upon a crossroads, in the middle of a storm My passion was on empty, and my will was old and worn The winding road before me, looked like all the ones before The kind with frozen hilltops, and those smoking valley floors The trail to the right of me, led up into the clouds The raindrops felt like needles, and the wind was howling loud The pathway to my left, had many bridges that were burned A lifetime of decisions, that forever will be spurned I hoped that if I waited, that this surge would finally pass I put down my belongings, and I laid down in the grass I dreamt about a lifetime, full of promise and regret my soul received a cleansing, and my heart was soaking wet The warm rain kept on falling, and I soon was swept away My last and final crossroad, All my dues are finally paid |

Thanks Martie! Yeah, methinks all those bumps on the top of my head are what’s making me grow... lol Thanks for the concern Martie. I’m okay as I’ve ever been. Hey wait! That’s not very good then... lol Thanks again Martie, you’re the best! |

Dawn ~ Oh Dawn, you are just so funny! A souvenir stand huh? What are you selling there? postcards of the future, walking canes, maps of your destiny... lol Man, when you said that you’re happy that the hard part (for me) is almost over... geez... I was like, hey, I still got a few years left in me...lol well, I think I do, that is ... lol Funny thing is, the poem was about dying, and death. The final crossroad. All the dues, are finally paid. It was interesting to see people interpreting it as a kind of new beginning... I’ll tell you though... I like that thought, a heck of a lot better... in fact...I think I’ll keep it... Thanks a bunch Dawn! |
