To use 'lurks' sometimes implies that what lurks could be hazardous/unfortunate. Opportunities, like a marriage or job promotion may sour eventually! ! ! : ( bri

Rose Marie, I'd use 'bend in the road' to mean a difficulty? , or change in course, or a challenge to advancement. My Googling didn't help me. bri ;) .

When we walk through a straight road, we know what lies ahead! But when we reach a bend, we cannot see what is there before us. It can be a rugged path unlike the one we have so far travelled, strewn with hard rocks and thorns or it could be a door opening to new vistas of opportunity and chance. All depends on our luck! A lovely poem, deep and profound!
