Crossroads


Like when you hear that song with the chord that shivers your soul
Or lift your head to follow the curve of the hawk’s flight
You meet those eyes in a quantum moment
You are here, it doesn’t matter where
It’s not once in your fairy tale life of loneliness and miracles
That opened your mind at that moment of perfection

There are so many crossed paths and crossed lives
Expand into space and breathe that terrible ache deep into your heart

Say yes and step onto the dusty pavement
Laugh at the pain and the battering sun and yes

The death and the life and those eyes
It’s already ended but it must begin

Your car is waiting, it’s time to get in
