Crossing Tracks

And oh, that road is full of choices
each one starts a new byway
some are light and lead uphill
others down into the dark

some a detour 'round construction
or a friendly culdesac
where a weary traveler may
take a well deserved rest

others lead through tribulation
frostheaves potholes unpaved track
where the path is indistinct
and leaves the traveler all but lost

challenges of road and byway
seasoned travelers embrace
character is their reward
and with it self doubt is erased

the one true test upon this journey
comes when your path crosses mine
despite the miles and tribulations
I hope we are well met as friends

Inspired by Lyn Geist's poem The Road
