As I walked through the woods My feet taking me somewhere My mind wandering nowhere I happened upon a crossroads At least I believe it to be so The path upon where I walked And the trails which appeared One to each side, Slightly over-grown with trees As my faithful hound ran ahead I stood amidst these paths To see from whence they came Maybe to where they led Looking around me Watching the pictures pass my mind Of the many trails I had seen along my journey Slowly, achingly, I came to realize I had seen these places before These were paths I had trod in days past That have led me to the crossroads I now met Standing there gazing at the past Staring into the future Not knowing which was which I became again aware My best friend was barking excitedly Happy to be where we were Glancing one last time to each side At the choices I was ignoring right now I continued along my journey Vowing to change my path some other day *********************** With apologies to Mr. Sandburg We are all equal but we’re individually different and able to reach the impossible if we try.

Nice poem Ringo~ Enjoyed this very much! I think it's human nature to question direction and where to go from here, or continue to stay within our means. |

shadows- Thank you for the kind words.. although my ex believes that al men can be dogs... lol Sue- As long as my dog doesn't mind, you are always more than welcome. Just remember to bring the music. Nancy- Kind words from you are always a compliment. Thank you. BS- Maybe this world would be better if we all took more time, eh?? Thanks for reading. We are all equal but we’re individually different |
