Encouragement

I reached the cross-roads
and second guessed which way to go
for lack of a better answer,
I held my horses
and took a rest at the crossroads
at the cross-roads!
It is the most risky lounge,
you can't just sit still,
for many come and go,
leaving you in your obsoleteness
what apathy, what fate?
for a big dreamer and warrior
to lie in limbo!

Swift winds passed with hidden messages
If only I would hear them;
If only I would listen...
but the great unhappiness in my heart,
compelled I to be silent;
In silent shame wept a brother
feeling like a spent force.

Darkness turns to day
misery that feels like a spent stick
I feel its sting no more!
why, its been used against me.
I arose and read the writ
ecclesiaste, a banner over me
" in many words is vanity," (how true)
“for a dream comes through much activity”
I had to move on
and stop second guessing
start boldly proclaiming liberty and victory.

A man who has seen bondage,
rises from ashes like a phoenix;
awakes from his dream and makes happen.
Yes, makes it happen.
stop being rocks... just lying around.
goliath is too big to miss
five stones are the number for five giants,
though i won't vanquish them all today.
wow, this is the story of a man
who has been at the crossroads and through
