Choices

In two minds unable to acquiesce

Each one its own intent

Upon me the burden now to process

In splintered choices reeling stress

A choice that I may someday resent

As a flip-flop and sway

Akin to a weathercock that spins to race

On a church steeple far away

Seemingly on top but to its dismay

The wind choosing which way it face

And to this day I will say

While both choices seemed that day

In sound conviction to evenly display

And neither one in extreme lay

I claimed the one my dream did play

The one to which I was then drawn

That somehow on that day had me swayed

And someone someday would then look upon

A look back in years and years gone

A reflection on the choice I made
