THE TURNING POINTS IN LIFE

IN THE CROSSROADS OF LIFE
I AM HYSTERICALLY RUNNING
RUNNING FAST....
WITHOUT LOOKING BACK
THOUSANDS ACCOMPANY
TILL ONE OR TWO CURVES
BUT THEN, SUDDENLY COMES A TWIST
WHEN HUNDREDS ARE LEFT BEHIND
OR CHANGED THEIR DIRECTIONS

I STILL RUN FAST...
AS FAST AS I CAN
COMES ANOTHER TURNING POINT
A DESTINATION
WHERE NEXT MOB MEETS
AND WE ALL RUN
AS FAST AS WE CAN
FOR FEW MORE TURNING POINTS
AND THE FLOCK AGAIN
ROTATES OR IS LEFT BEHIND
FOR OTHER WISHFUL TARGETS
TO ACHIEVE...

BUT STILL..
STILL LEFT IN THE MIND
AND IN THE HEART
ARE THE FAINT, HYPNOTIC
MEMORIES OF A FEW
LEFT BEHIND IN THE RACE
WHO ARE STILL REMEMBErD
AND TREASURED IN HEART'S SPACE

BUT! NO HOLDING BACK!
I STILL RUN FAST
ENDURING ALL HURDLES
SUDDENLY.. I CRIPPLE..
IN THE DARK FORESTS
IN THE STORMY WAVES
AND I SLOW DOWN
CAREFULLY I RUN
STILL I RUN
WAITING FOR A MILESTONE
A TARGET
A DESTINATION
A TURNING POINT
WHERE WITH COMPLETE SATIATION
AND SELF PERFECTION
I CAN WAIT AND
LOOK BACK TO
DISARRAY AND SHUFFLE
ALL THE STEPS TRAVELED
TO GET BACK ALL
LOVED ONES WHOM
I'VE LOST IN
THE FASTNESS AND RAPIDITY
OF THIS VICIOUS CIRCLE

I HOPE AND WISH
FOR THAT ROAD
TO COME SOON..
IN THE CROSSROADS OF MY LIFE
SO THAT I CAN ENVELOPE
ALL THE MOMENTS AND
THE PEOPLE I'VE LOST
ALL TOGETHER WHILE RUNNING
RUNNING AND RUNNING....
