9. The junction

Soon we will be parted
Soon our lines diverge
You upon your highway
Me upon the verge

Circumstances take us
Far from where we’d be
Over and beyond us
Far from sanctuary

Is this just a simple choosing
Of which way to go
Early choices are infusing
Everything we know
Who we were is still engaging
Our unconscious mind
Long lost dreams are still upstaging
Intimate entwined

Words that flow between us
Cannot represent
The taking and the leaving
We cannot prevent

‘What if’ is our master
He sets and moves the goals
Holding out disaster
He ensnares our souls

And if I’m shouting it’s fear of the quiet
And if I’m silent it’s my darkest night
We all have moments both quick and soon gone
Forever just out of sight
