Poem: Another Crossroads

You can try continuing with the familiar
But the familiar's not there
Change is ripe and ready
Whether or not you care

I am at another crossroads
The end of the line
Time for action and movement
Time to come up with
A completely new rhyme

You can hope for the best
And prepare for the worst
But before you move your foot
Careful planning must come first

I had a powerful dream
Filling heart and mind
I pushed and plodded it
Like making a stubborn goat
get in line

External reality is one thing
Stuck in permanent transformation
Knowing it deeply is another thing
Beyond fascination
And consternation

I will now correct my errors
And improve on strengths
Scouting for opportunities
And go to surprising lengths

To fulfill those dreams
The universe cooperating or not
Somewhere there must be
An open door

This elusive fish
Can somehow
Be caught
