Crossroads Revised 07 15 2023

In the realm of paths diverging, I find my weary feet So many crossroads I have taken, so many choices incomplete Yet the haunting memories linger, in shadows I try to dismiss A tapestry of missteps, a tapestry I yearn to untwist Lost and befuddled, in the labyrinth of my own design I long for clarity, a compass to guide me, gentle and kind But loneliness rests like a dark thorn against my tender skin Fear clings to my side with sly whispers, stealthy and thin Yet amidst the tempest, a glimmer of hope, faint but true Pierces through the doubt, casts a light where darkness once grew Oh, to find a kindred soul, who treads a similar trail Walking together, hand in hand, to prevail against our plight's veil Side by side, we'd venture forth on this journey of countless miles Sharing our woes, harmonizing our sorrows, singing the blues with genuine smiles For in shared pain, solace we'll discover, a warmth to light our way Until the new dawn rises with promises of a brighter day
