Lady Pathway

The other day
I met Lady Pathway
As usual she would say:
“Everything comes to an end
There is so much more, we don’t comprehend.
I put all my faith…”
She hesitates
And leaves, without looking back at me
In the background I hear a voice calling:” P! ”
Turned around
My ears trying to follow the echoes sound
Nobody there
I walked on, as if I didn’t care

Lady Pathway, was on my mind
I simply couldn’t find
An explanation, why she did behave
As if she didn’t feel safe
Anymore…
I went to her house, knocking at the door
Reminiscing, the old days
Everywhere I went, she was crossing my ways

Mr Crossroads opened the door, very soon
It must have been about four, in the afternoon
I don’t know how I knew his name
Never been familiar, never met the same
I came closer, afraid of getting the gate
Approaching him straight:

"The other day
I met Lady Pathway
As usual, she would say:
“P! You need to pray
For forgiveness, as we won’t stay!”
But she didn’t; now I worry,
Because she didn’t finish her story"

He asked me:” Have you ever been at the crossroads?
You seem to be someone having loads
Of sense…I’m sorry.
I can’t tell you anything more, but no need to worry.”

I left, before he closed the door
Frustrated, didn’t seem to care anymore
Sitting in my couch, watching TV
Guilt has come over me
She was always there
Even though, what she said wasn’t always fair
Missing them days, where I could always say:

The other day
I met Lady Pathway
As usual, she would say:
“P! You need to pray
Before Mr Crossroads, comes your way.”

I woke up, soaked in sweat
It was a bad dream, but real felt the threat

Today
I met Mister Pathway
With composure he would say:
“Lady Pathway passed away
P! You need to pray
For forgiveness, as we won’t stay
Everything comes to an end
There is so much more, we don’t comprehend
I put all my faith in the Almighty’s hand”
