This poem was written as an answer to a poetry challenge for Weekend Writing Prompt #4, Sammiscribbles.wordpress.com, to create a poem with the word Decisive in the body, but in less than forty words. Hope you enjoy.

A river forked, the waters split,  

One dark as ink, one sunbeam-lit. 

One step to gold, one to grave, 

A choice both reckless and yet brave. 

The current waits, the tide won’t plead—

Decisive hearts are those that lead.
