The Parting of the Ways

The Parting of the Ways

A Poem by Alvin L. Kathembe


At the parting of the ways 
Where destiny is decided
I stand.

At the parting of the ways
I chose the path 
Of least resistance.

At the parting of the ways
Where character is determined
I chose the wide and cobbled road.

At the parting of the ways;
The crossroads of destiny -
A left-behind lover weeps.

At the parting of the ways 
Hoping against hope,
A heart-broken lover prays...

Prays that someday 
Her lover will turn back
And, at the parting of the ways, 
Choose the right path...

Hoping against hope, 
Sweet Innocence...
