Life has it way with us.
Sooner or later
we find ourselves at a crossroads.
Seldom is it easy to go straight ahead
without looking left and looking right.
Whichever way we go there are consequenses.
And there is only one way we cannot go.
There is no going back.
When you are at the crossroads
you must choose.

Just let's not take the road that has a 'dead end' sign by it!
Roads forward or cross but no going back - - yes your words of wisdom put choice before wishes to take it all easy - cleverly versed D.A.
ANGELA HERE - Thanks DUSK - Love the Cool Sax awesome ! There is much that is true to experience in this POEM. It is True *We cant go back* on any aspect Time - in Life & Love only moves forward ! Brian & I faced an individual & joint crossroad when we decided to get engaged & married six months ago. Today (because we are both under 40) we face many *Life Choices* in Professions - Politics & Religion & starting a Family etc etc. Because of COVID 19 - nothing seems as stable as it was - so there are many CROSSROADS ! Watch this Space !
Love - Joy - Peace to You & Yours
Angela & Brian & Smokey Cat ! ! !
there can't be many places where there are so many choices on top of the four most obvious once than at a crossroads ..
even the word itself conjures up the idea of possibilities ahead and the necessity to make decisions of one kind or another...
of course, nothing happens in isolation, so at various points, or times in life, we arrive, like you say at a crossroads ... with inevitable consequences regardless of which way we proceed ...
this is one to think on and should, like its namesake .. be treated with respect ...
