Best Crossroad Poems

 
" Like a fish caught in a cruel net; 
or a bird caught in a trap,  
in the same way a person can be trapped;
by bad things that suddenly happen."
 
Based on Ecclesiastes 9:12

Standing at a metaphysical crossroad
Not knowing what is real
What is imagined
What never was or will be
Looking in the distance
Stars surround a glowing sun in a darkened sky
A rainbow spirals out of control
Spreading from mountain to river
Touching a hundred points of glass
It dances wildly
Never stopping 
Never...

I'm standing on a crossroad.
And there's a storm coming.
The sand I'm standing on, will not stand the rain.
And when right and left stopped being directions,
I find that turning around is not an option.
I cannot go backwards,
cause even if i try to go back in time,...

     "A Mother's Crossroad"



staring at the tiny white casket
tears cascading as raindrops fell
sorrow surrounds my heart holding blue basket
with his favorite toys crying with toll of funeral bell.

though grief usurped my saddened soul
mourning a loss precious and dear
one memorable moment in...

Another crossroad.
Invalids weep when 
wearing another's
soiled diapers suddenly 
disappear.
In spite of the battered off-chance -
from a despondent interruption;
I'm the exposed exception.

Coarse fingers bleed.
My wheelchair spokes 
are hardly friendly.
I proudly bawl when no one 
can see me bow my head
amongst the company of
irreverent observers.

At rest
with this...

In crossroad of life
I hanker professional cricket,
Menace out- stumped!...

Here I am again
Staring at my reflection
Asking why still in combustion
At the eyes  full of confusion 

Where am I?
Feeling drowned in the sea of loneliness
My whole being full of emptiness 
When will I can get back to Holiness

When I met you
I thought it was...

And the journey comes to a stop.

Wires dangle in the air
Like unanswered questions -
Darkness looms,
Solemn silence rolls by -
Is it the end of the road - yet,
The sky on the horizon still burns.

For fifteen years I’ve watched the world,
Seen the flags of ‘we’ versus ‘them’ unfurled,
I may be young, but don’t you underestimate,
The potential I have to overcome, and to dominate.

It seems the powers that be are perturbed,
Their once firm grip on society is disturbed,
For what they...

Godless, I faced a crossroad decision,
I knew that I would have to choose.
Facing a situation I did not envision,
God showed me what I stood to lose.
The cancer that had my body bound,
Appeared to me as a death sentence,
And yet God chose to make me sound,
The...

MY CROSSROAD LIFE - THANKS

Everything never made sense 
My purpose and will was gone
 It was my shell walking.
Walking with thoughts in my mind
I was lifeless and life within me gone,
Gone away with the moment,
Moments of shattered dreams
And a weeping soul in the dark.

Times like...

More dramatic than stage drama, 
tragic than Greek tragedy,
one cold night beneath a streetlamp
saw death dance a destiny.

Only a small child out walking 
home bound for his routine tea,
never thinking in his pie land
life had planned insight for me.

At the junction of the crossroads
screeching tyres...

Dear America.

My name is Common Sense.
A few people still respect
and utilize me, but in many if
not most places, I am no longer
welcome. Nevertheless, I beg of you
to bear with me in this brief discourse.

Here we are again,
at the crossroads of heaven
and, as Charles Dickens would...

It has been a long journey 
Through life to find you
Your path meeting mine
I want you to know these words  
Of a most special kind      
They have been traveling with me
On my quest to find you
At the crossroads of...
