At Crossroads

I stand, where paths diverge,
With merry Andrew, years’ faithful surge.
The Creator’s hand, a craftsman’s embrace,
Yet dreamscapes falter, bound by time’s
Trace.
At tri-junction, like a gazelle carved in grace, 
Amid ancient trees, a sanctified space,
Rooted, seeking signs yet unseen,
The road ahead-a riddle,
Serene.
Branches murmur, leaves weave lore,
Tales of renewal, of hearts once torn.
Choices beckon-left’s holds the known, paths,
Right reveals a frontier, where wild seeds
Are sown

The first wish for a genie is not the last, the second is better if the first wish is best, the third is the three not since used until one and two wishes are ushered in still.

At Crossroads. Very nice. I like it. So many choices, but one must choose. The left already knows, the right is what is to come.

Indeed, we have a choice as to paths. I try not to make mine alone, praying that I am listening to the right internal voice. Best we can do. Happy New Year my friend. Blessings.
