crossroads, again waiting in desolation, isolation four corners laid out before roads stretch to the horizon. Three directions turned are stepping onto future one leads back to the past. Hat in hand, sweat on brow old, faded bandana soaking considering the paths before. Sudden wind, dust whirling cliche tumbleweed rolls by hunger hidden, deep within. Where to go balancing, weighed against, perhaps with, places been future decorated with variables. The mind calculating, processing sun beats down, thirst escalates seeking at another crossroad. Sitting down to rest awhile questions and answers unasked unprayed, unknown, homeless. Admiring beauty that could be hoping for peace once promised waiting in desolation, isolation. ~~~~~~~~  |

future decorated with variables What an amazing line ! This poem as often yours are, is poignant and peppered with intelligent thoughts,sadness and fear. Also it has a quality rarely seen. Are you published ? I think you should be. I love to read your work and I know many others would too. Your life and experiences hold so much passion and tenderness, so much desperation and fear and a whole wealth of living. I know from your words that you have had the most difficult times and can never hope to understand how this feels, but to read your poetry gives the reader a good start. sorry lol I waffle sometimes. Just stunned by this wonderful poem Hugs from June x |

Sitting down to rest awhile questions and answers unasked unprayed, unknown, homeless. Admiring beauty that could be hoping for peace once promised waiting in desolation, isolation. The most poignant line of all to me. You've done a wonderful job of describing life's crossroads. Thank you. BWA |
