Crossroads

A fork in the dusty road

Skin burning in the desert's oven

Here because of wrong turns in the past

Speed limits exceeded,

Caution signs ignored.

The choices have been narrowed down

Push forward to another opportunity

Yet another decision

For the sand stretches on

But in the distance is a river

                  Is life

        Is tranquil silence

Rather than desolate noiselessness
