Crossroads
CROSSROADS
Several crossroads are intersecting on paths of life.
You are bound to stop at crossing
obeying Red signal
of danger or dismal
or conflict critical.
Waiting eager with zeal and vigor
aiming ambition flickering on Amber glow
turning Green seemed to be clean.
Proceed prompt being keen
on exuberant ecstasy expecting at least to achieve
what you deserve
or hoping a miracle to be reserved for you!
Yet journey is hazard, haphazard.
Hardly haply happy happenstances.
Random occurrences bearing no balance
Puzzling perplexing maze hard to cross periphery.
Purposeless tour in a closed contour,
putting again at confusing crossing of crossroads.
