Crossroads

Sometimes it’s amazing
The tide can turn so fast
While you stand at your crossroads
Looking at your past
The only road closed
Just beyond the end of your nose
Time has moved on
And darker it grows
Here at the crossroads
You really must choose
Will you rise or Fall?
Will you win or lose?
What’s in your heart at the center of you?
Take time to consider
But don’t take too long
One road could be bitter
Another love’s song
At each moment’s path along the foot tracks of time
There lies a decision
Sometimes you’ll pause and sigh
Clarify your vision
But the longer you stay
The darker it grows
It feels better to avoid traveling dim roads
As it grows darker
Your flame is a flicker
Risk can seem larger
Your heartbeat is quicker
Shadows gather ‘round
What are you afraid of?
Don’t forget what you’re made of!
Spirit knows no bounds
You live here creating
With each choice that you’re making
Even when you choose not to choose
When you stop to look back
Try to learn from your past
Honor and love yourself even when you lose
Cry if you must to let go
Because it’s future or bust…ya know?
In a moment of mishap
If you should misstep
And you want to change the tide
Always remember things can get better
Each moment’s a choice
At the crossroads you decide
You could choose to rejoice
Even when you have nothing
You still have a lot
Your spirit is something
Ain’t no one else got
Each lesson you’re learning
Just sweetens the pot
If you know what you’re knowing
You’ll know what you want
Here at the crossroads
It’s best to fear not
Will you get what you get?
Like you got what you got?
Trick questions I know
With answers worth their weights in gold
Treasures untold wait at the crossroads
In each step where you always stand
While the heartbeat of time
Continues weaving your delicate strand
Nightmare or Daydream?
You will decide
Each moment’s mainstream
Is turning the tide
From the crossroads you cannot hide…
