What vision cast upon myself?
Has led me to this empty realm
To figure out this simple path
And relieve my mind from burning.
This crossroad I have run into
Has given me another view
To clutter up a life intent
On going round in circles
I’ll weigh the odds of passions hold
And hope that I am strong and bold
To safely cross through such a pass
And control which way it takes me.

very good! I deal with crossroads a lot, so this one caught me. I am beginning to think we don't have control of where we end up in life. I know what you mean about going round in circles too.

Interesting title, I think the legend goes that it is at the crossroad where the devil tries to buy your soul---just pick a path, m'friend and travel...like the game of chess, a song from YES--"don't surround yourself with yourself..."---hopefully I will be well soon, will e you, until then prayers for you...k?

Nicely written. I like the lines... "This crossroad I have run intov Has given me another view" and the way you show strength... "And control which way it takes me."

Thank you all so very much. Seems I've been running into more crossroads then actual roads lately.
