On cross roads

 

No one around

No more tears to shed

All dried up

Definitely not sad

 

Not yet lost

Hold on to myself

None can help

Being on cross roads

 

Some time or the other

In a long journey

Birth to death, the end

Eventually, all come here

 

The moments seem

Moving slow, dragging

Thoughts deep ones

Rolling back-flash

 

One after the other

Thoughts pop-up, magnified

Such simple things

Ended all messed up

 

Did I fail to act!

Didn’t I respond in time!

Was I too eager!

Did I become too emotional!

 

Wish I could roll back!

Have my life re-run

May be then, a thought

Avoid being on cross again

 

If, at this moment

God were to come down

Granting me a wish

Which life I would chose!

 

My dear child

Here it is I offer

A life time to choose

Might avoid crossing again!

 

50 years of more life

What would be your wish!

A re-run life of past!

The alternate, a fresh one

 

Ah! A moment

Again I am on cross

Life a surprise

A package, unknown

 

More cross roads sure to come

No one can ever avoid

Surprise, is more exciting

‘A fresh life’, I yelled loud n clear

Crossroads all the time...you're so right. It's all about how we cross, if we cross. This is a brilliantly put "life" piece. Relate worthy also!!! Clever, and makes one stop and think. Thanks a lot.

Well, I can empathize with this poem very well.
Sometimes we find ourselves on crossroads by choice, sometimes we have no control over what happens ...
At this moment I am moving house and exploring possibilities to chance careers ...
Sometimes we have just too many challenges to tackle and we might feel lost, but in the end, I am convinced that every crossroad is there for a reason and that every end is always a new beginning.
This is so spot on!
I love the videos you make as well! They are brilliant!
I subscribed to them!

But, there is no straight road in life! There are crossroads and bends, alley ways and expanses.. that's life.

But your poem has highlighted what you've gone or go through and, you've done it so very finely.

We can't retrace our footsteps, that's part of our uniqueness, all we can do is be thankful for what we've had and for the strength to make the right decisions at the next stage of the journey.

Thank you for sharing a very thought provoking and finely constructed post.
