The Crossroad of Life

When pushed to make a decision, how do you choose the right path?

Sometimes life brings you to a crossroad

A crossway from where everything seems a blur.

You’re confused which direction to choose,

what’s the right path to humbly tread on…

You’ve traveled far to get here, climbed enough mountains, and waded through many of life’s travails.

There were no trophies along the way, just higher mountains, and wider rivers to assail.

You question your life’s purpose so far. What marks have you set? What victory milestones have you attained?

Will this meaningless meandering go on mindlessly, as your willpower and body disintegrates?

You wonder if the people you’ve met on this journey will remember you when you’re gone,

You ponder if your existence has had any significance at all.

You speculate what lies ahead for you,

Even though you’re too scared to explore…

You understand that change is the only constant, this crossroad, merely a temporary halt.

No matter how tired and worn out the body is, the ageless soul eggs you to carry on…

Pulling you along into the unknown, it urges you to uncover what destiny has in store.

Each day of life is a decision backed by action, everyone must trudge along.

With a sigh, the weary traveler takes a new step and leaves the crossroad behind.
