Intersection of Time

i stand haphazardly 
at the crossroads of life
on one side
they are gathered
hands extended outwardly
ready to welcome me

on the other side
you reach out
tempting me
with the same passion
as this very dawn

i linger on the edge
weighing my choices
carefully trying to decide
which road to follow

love is not an option
when it's scattered
across the distance
like this sun
across endless skies
trying to be the light
in everyone's path

i stand frozen
stuck in the frame
of marching time
awaiting...
as the seconds
continue
to wind down

Love is what lights every road No matter how dark. Love breaks like dawn across every life's horizon and guides us on to hope...

I have a feeling you never stand haphazardly anywhere, Sandra. Great write though!

Thank you my dear friend...it's a little deeper than the heart choosing...it's more like a life and death battle... hugs

Many stand at these crossroads wondering which course would be the best to take. Only the heart knows the direction to choose. At least that is my opinion. Wonderfully written my friend.
