Silent Crossroads

No signs, no maps,

just the hush of air holding its breath,

as the road splits like a secret thought

I never said aloud.

Shadows lean in opposite directions,

each path a whisper

one of memory,

one of tomorrow.

The silence is heavy,

not empty but full—

with the weight of choices

I cannot undo.

No footsteps echo yet,

only the pause

that fragile stillness

before courage moves.

And somewhere deep inside,

I already know:

the quietest moments

carry the loudest change.

A reflective poem about the quiet power of choices we make in silence. “Silent Crossroads” captures the tension, stillness, and courage found at life’s unseen turning points.
