Decision Point

Posted on 10/23/2016 by Andrew Reynolds

Standing at the point of decision.
Crossroads.
Rail and car cross in time.
The road bends into the unknown.
Two rails held apart by strong ties.

Standing at the junction of fear and longing,
contemplating the turmoil of the heart.
Safety or adventure.
Dull certainty or exciting confusion.

Sanding at indecision.
Heart and head.
Feet and hands.
All pulling in different directions
as a feeling from above
pulls eyes upward
to see twin cloud trails
converging in the distance.

Vanishing point where
perspective merges,
and souls melt into eternity.

 

Till next week,
Andrew

    Undecided I stand at that point
    Unable to move till I make up my mind
    Shall I remain rooted forever?
    Or make up my foolish mind?

    Standing there, feeling the fear fighting with the longing, nodding my head and thinking, “How many times have I been standing at the point of indecision?”

    Too many times.
