Crossroads

By Prashil Karapurkar

Standing at the crossroads 

The dilemma surrounds me. 

Should I take a leap of faith? 

Or trust my destiny? 

Or should I go the other way, 

Where the grass is green 

And the sky is clear there,

But the air is mean. 

Or should I climb the hill

And touch the sky 

But the vultures will eat me up 

And I don’t know why? 

Or should I run towards the ocean 

And embrace the 'deep'

But its darkness scares me 

It will make me weep 

Or should I run towards the forest , 

A labyrinth of trees , 

Where the sun is shy

And has eerie breeze 

I still stand at the crossroads 

The dilemma still surrounds me 

Wondering (again) ,if I should I take a leap of faith? 

Or just trust my destiny
