Too much time on the drawing board

Reaching a forked road could really be a dilemma but staying longer could spell a disaster. Not because those lagging behind may catch up but because seeing which road most of them have taken might affect my trail. I don't have much on my itinerary and it makes nothing much worthy of hiking. With the sound of the rushing waters, I know there's a river somewhere along my right side. I could also hear the sounds, from the other side of the river: laughter; foot steps, running and dancing. It sounds inviting and going out of the trail to cross the river is so tempting. It sounds so adventurous. I've been hanging here for a number of months now and I should be going. Will I cross the river? No. I’ll take the bridge.
