Cross Roads As they walk along the shore no words pass their lips. Staring out across the sea Not a sound to be heard. The warm gentle breeze Creates shivers up their spine. The day had finally come No longer could they be. The people that they were Dreams they had shared. All washed away As tears fell down their cheeks. Memories fill their minds Of a time when life was kind. Oh, Love was so sweet Colorful were the days Years that held Passion. They each express a smile. Together they had traveled Down that road of life. One straight shot No turns, no bends. Until now, at this moment They stand at the crossroads. They know the decision. Fate had made its choice To follow a new path To create a new chapter. Never to forget one another They hold each other in their hearts. They journey into the horizon. Neither ever turning to see If the other is watching the departure. Forcing themselves onward They only Hope and Pray That their paths my cross again. 06/07/00 -------------- You got to get up every morning with a smile on your face and show the world all the love in your heart Then people are gonna treat you better You're gonna find, yes you will That your beautiful as you feel.~~~ Carol King |

Lovely poem kitkat. Fate has a way of sometimes having our paths cross more than once. |

KitKat~ I liked this. The idea of standing at the 'crossroads' and each taking a different direction was so well done ... I believe the twists and turns of life will always lead us back into someone's life. Also .. enjoyed the positive note of remembering the good and parting with a smile.  ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Thank-you for your replies. I guess I was looking to give the effect that sometimes when a relationship is over it does not always have to be bad. If it was truly meant to be they would meet again. |

hey girl...nice to have you posting this is great writing and well expressed reflections... it is always nice when we can part as friends. good poem with a message of wisdom take care, jm I think I could need - this in my life I think I'm just scared - that I know too much I can't relate and that's a problem I'm feeling ... If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home There's an awful lot of breathing room But I can hardly move If you're gone - baby you need to come home cuz there's a little bit of something me... In everything in you. ~MB20~ "What the caterpillar calls the end ... The world calls a butterfly" ~Lao Tze Tao~ ~Butterflies are meant to be free~ |
