Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Waiting At the Crossroads

I stare at the blues and oranges of the world
refusing to be pressured 
there is such beauty in everyday things
even the railroad track signs 

how many people have gone past this site
without seeing any of it?
how many people have cried tears here?
can they be scooped up and reused
or are they forever glued to this crossroad?

a car honks
impatience wants me out of the way
I am not ready
the time is now
and I am here for a reason.
I sit firmly, waiting for a sign.

L Milton Hankins July 17, 2022 at 2:00 PM Oh my goodness...you have no idea how many times I have wanted to do that. I guess I'm not brave enough. I'm afraid the impatient driver behind me will jump out of his car and shoot me. Caren Krutsinger July 17, 2022 at 10:02 PM People are insane now and armed, so I understand.
