Crossroads
Crossroad
I’m in the valley of discontent
Where my passion brews, and my heart is rent.
The way stretches dark and long
As I march on wearily to an unknown song.
I pray for a clearing, a cliff or a peak
As relentlessly onward a haven I seek.
Where is it leading? Where will I go?
What will result if the journey end in “no”?
What is He asking? Am I allowed to request?
When will the flood come to turn the tide of this test?
The bridge looms ahead — to cross or to burn.
My feet on the road must yield and not turn.
Poem written August 9, 1994 and found in a box unpacked this weekend.

Hello, my fellow Blog Sparrow, thanks for sharing. To imagine this treasure was hidden away just to come out and shine today. Beautiful! Blessings ~ Chris
This is beautiful, friend. I deeply resonate with these words tonight. Thank you!
This poem, the scripture…singing in tune and time with you on this one Lyli. So beautiful.
Lyli, this is a fantastic poem! And God knew right where it was place to resurface at the perfect time.
Yes, the poem ends exactly as we should in our everyday life. AND the photo and Word are truthful, too. Thanks for sharing so significantly.
I’m visiting from Testimony Tuesday. I’m awed by anyone who writes poetry. What a lovely poem. How wonderful that you came across it.
Wow…what an awesome and deep poem! Thank you for sharing it and how amazing that you discovered it in a box.
Lyli-I love this so much. It makes me love you more xoxo
Oh, wow. This is my story, too. At a Crossroads and walking to an unknown song. But He is oh, so, faithful. Of this I am sure.
