Close Your Eyes

Imagine standing in the middle of your street.  Do you know anyone?  Does anyone know you?  Is this a place where you want to be?  Or, is this street really just a crossroad to someplace else?  Close your eyes and turn around.  What is at the end of your street - do
you even know?

    I plan to come back, if I know how to turn
    To return me here from where I went,
    Some things I can never learn,
    At this point, am I hell or heaven bent?
