Crossroads Poem by Jay P Narain

Crossroads



Crossroads of life,
Many paths, many goals,
Destination unknown,
Mirages of Hope abound.

The journey on the past path,
Hoped for happiness and blessed life,
Lost track, lost companion,
Wandered alone for distant promised lands.

Life seemed timeless,
Like an island in the middle of sea,
Only dreamt endlessly for a happy future,
Like the waves trying to hug the island shores.

Stood at the crossroads for along,
The other path always seemed nicer than one I wanted to take,
Many sand castle of hope got built,
Only to be blown off by the cruel destined wind.

The dawn had set in, the paths were getting dark,
Many shadows came as companion souls,
Slower they came, faster they disappeared,
Till I saw the light at the end of two distant paths.

There you stood, smiling in the dark corner,
I stumbled to reach you, you gave me your helping hand,
I may have wished for the shooting star,
You came in my life like beats of my heart.

My heart may feel happy after finding my trusted love,
But my soul is always in quest for peace and enlightenment,
When I search for this eternal wisdom forgetting my greed and lust,
I see my distant destination on a path full of faith and devotion.
