Life's journey at the crossroads...
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 a 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.
Now we are together at the crossroads,
We shall walk holding hands together,
We may or may not love each other all the time,
But I will make sure, I don't lose you anytime.
written passionately.

An excellent poem. The three distinct phases in life you describe so well. First ambition, second crossroads and third fulfillment, rather lately but something that gives contentment. You could so well put into a poetic nutshell the entire life span of an ordinary man...wonderful poetry.
excellent piece and this stanza for me is the best of the entire piece 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.
