Crossroads

At the crossroads, the lights, they do flicker
Like a sign, that somehow, I can’t see
Many roads, many directions
Many faces stand before me

Or do they?
Is it trickery or the mind tonight?
That shadows dance to create faces
All from the ever flickering light

There is hope, I hear that now
Only faith guides the road
How can this be, why is it me?
Is this now, some sort of code?

To know the end is only the beginning
Leaves little guidance, as to where to start
At the crossroads, looking outwards
Is this where, my shadow, and I do part?

Upon which direction, do I go?
Which flickering light can lead my way?
There’s no going back now
As I shed my shadow today
