The Crossroads Made of Fire

The crossroads made of fire I walked my share of crossroads But this path was mine to bare, The street sign made of brimstone And sulfur lingered in the air. The journey made me weary Voices heckled in the dark, Depressed and very lonely That's when the devil left his mark. This crossroad stole my passion Demons taunted in my sleep, I asked God to give me strength And my soul for him to keep. Others will face this crossroad And I pray they make it through, Lost souls searching for an end A new beginning waits for you. Love will find your heart again Your soul will seek desire, I got burned but made my way On the crossroads made of fire.

An important work that may just deny the devil a soul or two or three. Like the way this poem is couched in language that makes message clear with hope for those who desire to leave the devil at the crossroads. Regards David in NZ
