Alone at the crossroads again,
a bug trapped in a jar,
I watch by Her window
for a world that refuses to appear.
Winning and learning
or
losing and dying
a choice made
exclusive
—the moment undone
(The New Room: November, 2021)

Life ...
an unending series
of crossroads
Take
the right turn
— and tomorrow befriends
(Dreamsleep: September, 2025)
Wagon roads in mist
Leading down from the crossroads
Out of sight in time
Lost memories no longer give
Journeys that no longer live
Déjà vu crossroads,
What is right and what is left
When love is not there;
Free of self, you lift your gaze,
A third way opens ahead
Life meets death at the crossroads where death meets life
~ where the heart skips a beat
Right choices support a good life
Wrong choices bring much strife
This is two lines from my poem "Crossroads"
The Light paints unseen secrets
You stand at the crossroads in reverence.
The Light awaits and stars bow.
So watch, yielding no risk to severence.
At the crossroads
you stand and wait
for something you
cannot define
with terms you know
to cover choice
and sounds you know
aren't your own voice
There comes a moment
when at the crossroads of life...
a need of poetry,
an encompass of one’s self
to give of and to receive.

Christened in the night
by rain
at the crossroads
Kissing each memory
that burns
—breathing his words again
(Hazlehurst Mississippi: October, 1975)
Rain
Rain
Rain
Rain
Nothing but the sound of rain
All day long the sound of rain
Nothing but the sound of rain
Rain
Rain
Rain
Rain
tapestries
of
light
in
a whispered
symphony
of existence
at
the crossroads
of reality
to will
a search
of the
fabrics of time
To the whispers of the angels wings
heart blossoms to Cupid's rampage.
time comes to crossroads of Autumn
to await in nakedness as a Ginkgo tree.
Cross-eyed crossroads had a secret to keep
the crux of it was amazingly deep
Kind of confidence that makes you weep
Isn’t it lucky that cross-eyed crossroads can’t speak?
Where Light and Dark Part
windows, light fading
bright altar set to atone
dusty red crossroads
Robert J. Lindley, 6-17-2018
Haiku, ( Life, Appearances and Deceptions)
Before me is an endless road,
At a crossroads truth be told.
I shall wander to and fro,
Not knowing where I will go.
An aimless drifter to atone,
To find a place he calls home.
here comes another crossroads decision
continue along the well-known path
or entice my soul to attempt a new adventure
I choose the path of the unknown once again
anticipating newness
a shadow of her former self
I barely recognized her
surprised to meet her here today
at the cancer treatment ward
in the lobby of life’s casualties

Sorrow in ones mind lingering in the past my present pushes forth as my soul stands still, The very heart beneath my chest beats with haste as my body is torn at the crossroads of my essence.
My silent cry
Here in the labyrinth...
In the crossroads of my life
In this maze ...
I find myself compelled to smile
Here where my heart isn't content
I have found peace
In my confusion...
teenage bombshell
the future in your eyes
caught at crossroads
decisions
on a whimsy
your life
in the balance
winding paths
of outcomes
the price
eternity

Hurricane love
Cracked my heart
Blue eyes flashed
My life apart
Book life shredded
And soared away
Passion thundered
Night and day
No single woman
could love you more
But with that slap
I locked the door
Sleep
roaming
night voyage
submerged for hours
pursuing realms gate, where trails greet deceased
dreamers, souls, gather at nirvana's bench
intensively
awaiting
in deep
sleep
