CROSS-ROADS
Such complications, I no longer know
Fork in the road, which way to go
Contemplating and contemplating, but no answer
Helplessly I feel I begin to wonder
 
There were times when all seemed right
Farther the distance, no impasse in sight
Peace and comfort filled my soul
I said to myself, what a wonderful world!
 
No forewarning, life explode
Back I am, at the fork in the road
Lost I am as to what usurped my plan
The Brook is dry where water once ran
 
Left with hope and consolation
That too is over-ridden by consternation,
Impeded by strife’s infusion
My mind is in total confusion!
