 The Crossroads Looms

Today I seek my future trail;
I search my heart for a clue.
A crossroad lies before me;
Wisdom is sought from within.
I sit in the middle of the pathway;
Patiently waiting for wisdom.
Stillness rests on my shoulder;
As my mind shouts to get up and go.
Seeking that trust to be established
As the crossroad looms.

Logic begins to search out the trail heads;
Categorizing the pros and the cons.
My soul rises up and silences my minds logic;
Patiently waiting for wisdom to speak.
Darkness begins to fall as I remain seated;
The noises of the forest blackness sing.
My heart begins to beat a bit faster;
My time line has been destroyed by the wait.
The plans of my ego evaporate in the night
As the crossroad looms.

Sleep calls my name, but I sit and wait;
Mixtures of dreams and thoughts persist.
Sleep overtakes me just past midnight;
Awakening as the warm sun rises.
The birds sing their praises for the morning;
Joy rises in my soul as I remain seated.
Stillness and peace reside within
My soul this morning, ego is subservient.
Wisdom begins to float from within
As the crossroad looms.

Smiling, I stand and continue my trek
Past this intersection on my destination.
Peaceful is the guidance as I choose
A path long overgrown with lack of usage.
My pace is steady, my footfall firm;
I begin a climb up a rocky mountain.
Adventure awaits me in each moment;
Excitement embraces me as I truly live!
The destination of my destiny selected
Until the next crossroad looms.
