Crossroads

by Jon Hawkins - Aquarius

A man at a crossroads
Looking
Pondering
"Which way should I go?"
He doesn’t know.

Two paths stand before him
One wide
One narrow.

He looks at the wide path
Well used
A busy path
Many people pass by
As they follow this track.

But the narrow path
Is narrow
Barely trodden
No one seems to take it.

They favour the other.

But then a man comes
A kind man
The look in his eyes is of love
He joins the narrow path.

He turns
Motions at the man
Who stands there thinking.

"Follow me", he seems to say
"Trust me, I know the way"
He takes a last glance
At the two pathways

Then takes the narrow.
