Bent Forks *

Cathy Thorp

 

When you come to the fork in the road, take it.

Not just to eat dessert first, but seek hunger to discern desire.

Then in the defiance of chaos we know

The outbound flow, the temper tempted.

Journeys began, continued, yet we never arrive

Where we planned on the roadmap we saw in our minds.

Are destined to follow old trails overrun

With thick thorns of regret we cannot forget?

Faith leads us on the road yet unseen

Unprepared, yet unwilling to remain in our pain

Move on in the light of a brighter sun

Where self-imposed blocks no longer remain.

Take the fork in the road, and go, travel far

Every turn we’ve made brings us to where we are.
