The Crossroads

A long road of confusion
Tired eyes, failing sight
Where is the way?
How will I walk it?

Listen to my heart
It still cries for my past
It is torn, spraying signs
With its aortic obfuscation

Look for my soul
It lays somewhere in the stars
Waiting, hoping
One day I will be ready to call it home

My legs are weak
Floundering under false weight
Burdens I carry
Crushing me

I pray my arms become wings
Lifting me into the light
Taking me where I fear to go
Into the future
