Crossroad

Como que en estos momentos estoy entrando en una encrucijada, y no veo un camino mejor que otro para seguir, todos prometen llegar a un lugar, desconocido, pero lugar al fin. Necesito ir hacia la inicialización de un trabajo digno que haga valer mi agenda de desarrollo futuro sin dejar de lado el bienestar emocional. Pero, como saberlo?.

Que puedo decir, solo que tengo una gran incógnita en la cabeza y la palabra de alguien que no se ha pronunciado pudiera esclarecer mis pensamientos (sonó como a bolero, jejeje!). Bueno, y como saber si ese alguien es?

Cross Road Blues
I went to the crossroad
fell down on my knees
I went to the crossroad
fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above "Have mercy, now
save poor Bob, if you please
Mmmmm, standin' at the crossroad
I tried to flag a ride
Standin' at the crossroad
I tried to flag a ride
Didn't nobody seem to know me
everybody pass me by
Mmm, the sun goin' down, boy
dark gon' catch me here
oooo ooee eeee
boy, dark gon' catch me here
I haven't got no lovin' sweet woman that
love and feel my care
You can run, you can run
tell my friend-boy Willie Brown
You can run, you can run
tell my friend-boy Willie Brown
Lord, that I'm standin' at the crossroad, babe
I believe I'm sinkin' down
Symbolism:
The crossroad is where thing happen because they have to--there is nothing but absolutes. Falling is a kind of helplessness; knees usually have to do with penitence or pleading. Sunset is death or dying. Darkness is death, ignorance, and the Devil's time.
Comment:
The speaker is giving up when he falls to his knees--he is turning himself over to the stronger forces echoed when he calls to God. He doesn't say what is going to happen when the darkness arrives, but it can't be anything good. In the last line of the third verse he says he doesn't have a woman. Usually when darkness falls (lines 1 and 2) he can be protected within the circle of a woman's arms. This night, however, he is alone and unprotected. In the last verse he speaks to someone who, apparently, is not a good enough friend to give him a ride. He tells this person to tell his friend what happened to him. In facing death or destruction he seeks an epitaph--some part of him to live on.
