Seven Crossroads

Start your odyssey!
Quit standing at the crossroads,
looking small and lost.

~~ ~~ ~~

She could not predict
how standing at the crossroads
would contort her life.

~~ ~~ ~~

Why aren’t you singing
while standing at the crossroads?
Did you tie your tongue?

~~ ~~ ~~

To give thanks to God
while standing at the crossroads
is a sign of faith.

~~ ~~ ~~

She sang her heart out
while standing at the crossroads,
and then she moved on.

~~ ~~ ~~

Letting her flute sing
while standing at the crossroads—
mournful little tunes.

~~ ~~ ~~

We can make a life
of standing at the crossroads,
but it won’t go far.
