Meet Me At the Cross Road

Meet me at the cross road and nurture my soul Meet me at the cross road and make me whole I woke up this morning in a somber mood grasping the reality of the rude awakening that held me captive and cause disruption in the circle I held on to no one but everyone was holding my hand My subconscious ventured out into the deep Searching for the gigantic mountain sheep with its big horn nestled on its hairy head It stood on the mountain top waiting for me We stared each other in the face and suddenly a strong power descended upon my head I did not know who to tell so I curled up in my bed I wrap myself around the God above me and I could feel his spirit breathing inside me Tears streamed down my face and my spirit entered a quiet place I couldn't find consolation in anything so I lost myself in children's tune and sang until noon The day slipped swiftly out of my hand and night descended rapidly upon the land I took a short cut through the housing scheme and ventured out into the dark park with a dim light streaming from my flash light The scent of ripe fruits saturated the air and the trees absorb the aroma There is something magnificent about nature in the dark It speaks I trod along the dark path and something mystical appeared A glittering light shone upon the marigold in the pitch dark and pulled me over to its side and a voice rings out "meet me at the crossroad" I picked a bunch of marigold and walk along the path until I reached the cross road scary things happen in the woods at nights that can cause terrible fright Flowers talking, dogs barking and cricket singing Wild marigold nurturing my soul Sending blood up and down my spine Even at nights they shine their beautiful lights it was a magnificent sight There is something about tonight night that gives me a wonderful thrill Oh I feel like running up the hill and shout The trees are silent the wind has perished And the night rest calmly around me The road goes this way and that way then this way I lie on the ground in the middle of the cross road Penetrating the lavish clouds above me The moon buried itself deeply in the clouds And the night embraced and mentored me It took me somewhere that I have never been before I stretched out my hands and reached for its hand and a bright beam crossed the sky lifting me off the ground propelling me to higher heights its majestic navigating in the sky measuring every crevice and corner listing to gossips and scrutinizing the agitators It was a glorious splendor A helicopter suddenly zoom across the sky searching for the bad guys I landed back at the crossroad and waited patently for the order to roll The order came and I continued my journey to another place I waited for another sign to show mankind that god is divine Just as I crossed the bridge a patch of white flowers shouted at me in the dark saying " remember me" I looked behind me but no one was there so I walked over and picked the white flowers that was glowing in the dark With s bunch of marigold in my hand and a bunch of white flower in another I finally crossed the road and made my way out of the mystical park.
