Crossroads

Crossroads of life, Many paths, many goals, Destination unknown, Mirages of Hope abound. The journey on the past path, Hoped for happiness and blessed life, Lost track, lost companion, Wandered alone for distant promised lands. Life seemed timeless, Like an island in the middle of sea, Only dreamt endlessly for a happy future, Like the waves trying to hug the island shores. Stood at the crossroads for a long, The other path always seemed nicer than one I wanted to take, Many sands castle of hope got built, Only to be blown off by the cruel destined wind. The dawn had set in, the paths were getting dark, Many shadows came as companion souls, Slower they came, faster they disappeared, Wish to see the light at the end of two distant paths.
