Standing at the crossroads
send me the key
put down the rope
let me climb
to join halfway
where the fallen fell through
where the horizons broke
where darkness divided
the days and nights
I deserted the highway
before my disgrace
and built a stairway
till I saw the surface
but here at
the crossroads
of Nephilim's heart
with so little time
to decide
should I descend
or must I climb

Re. Standing at the crossroads
Never stop tweaking your work it will only thank you for it.
Here's what I'd do if this were mine.
At the Crossroads
Send me the key
put down the rope
Let me climb
to join them halfway
where the fallen fell
where horizons bReak
and darkness divides
all days and nights
I built a stairway
to one step below
my highway abandoned
years ago
But here at the crossroads
of Nephilim's heart
with so little time to decide
should I crawl
or must I
climb
Just my paltry two cents - take anything you may - if not feel free to ignore.
Best ~Abra

WOW, this is well-refined brilliantly. Thank you, Abra,
Can I update it in my original post?

A journey through life that fell and we all do to some degree imho and have to correct the mistake if we wish to climb. That is my take anyway. Good one!
