Crossroads
Ah, yes.
The time of crossroads.
An important decision must be made
Will one continue the chosen path
Or change direction for better or worse?
North or West?
East or South?
Which will one go?
Up or down?
Right or left?
Which path is a foe?
Lie and deceive?
Or speak the truth with total honesty?
Which one shall be chosen?
Up and down,
right and left,
They all look the same
As one spirals into confusion.
Spiraling and spiraling,
Deeper and deeper
To the point where one doesn’t know anymore.
But it is one who forces that upon oneself.
Deep down, deeper than the spiraling, one knows.
Ah, yes.
It is the time of crossroads.
