Array ( [sid] => 128767 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Lonely Crossroad [time] => 2006-11-27 22:32:12 [hometext] => A poem that helped me release myself from the pressures of others as far as what my spiritual beliefs are. [bodytext] => I'm on a lonely island standing still as a stone,
Yet the world around me is spinning out of control.
I feel like slow motion is the essence of me,
And with distant eyes I watch change come to be.

Nothing is moving, nothing's moving at all...
But everything's spinning, spinning out from my fall.

The sky is a hazy shade of unfamiliar seasons,
I'm drifting away from their logic and reasons.
You give me my options and I ask for your blood,
You deny me my life and I give you a flood.

Hardship in choosing, choosing once and again...
Praying for rain, rain that drowns all my pain.

And I am at a crossroad, looking left and then right,
Behind me is darkness, straight ahead is a light.
I hold out my hands to catch the rain like a cup,
And so I decide there is no way but up. [comments] => 4 [counter] => 212 [topic] => 62 [informant] => ruby_dreamer [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 9 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => spiritual )
The Lonely Crossroad

I'm on a lonely island standing still as a stone,
Yet the world around me is spinning out of control.
I feel like slow motion is the essence of me,
And with distant eyes I watch change come to be.

Nothing is moving, nothing's moving at all...
But everything's spinning, spinning out from my fall.

The sky is a hazy shade of unfamiliar seasons,
I'm drifting away from their logic and reasons.
You give me my options and I ask for your blood,
You deny me my life and I give you a flood.

Hardship in choosing, choosing once and again...
Praying for rain, rain that drowns all my pain.

And I am at a crossroad, looking left and then right,
Behind me is darkness, straight ahead is a light.
I hold out my hands to catch the rain like a cup,
And so I decide there is no way but up.
