Meaning
The Crossing appears when you are no longer who you were, but not yet who you are becoming.
It is the space between endings and beginnings, where certainty is hard to find.
This card invites you to stay with the transition instead of rushing through it.
Reflection
If you have drawn The Crossing, you may be standing between a life that no longer fits and a future that has not fully appeared.
This can feel uncomfortable.
You may want certainty.
You may want answers.
You may want to know where all of this is leading.
This card reminds you that transitions rarely provide clarity all at once.
You do not need to force the next chapter into view.
For now, your task is simply to remain present in the crossing itself.
You are not lost.
You are moving through.
[Verse 1]
The Crossing is
the in-between
Not where I’m going
not where I’ve been
Something changed
I know that’s true
I just don’t know
what I’m moving to
[Verse 2]
Too late to stay
Too soon to know
One foot says yes
One foot says no
The old me left
The new me waits
So here I am
With anxious fate
[Chorus]
Well… this is awkward
Here I stand
No clear future
No solid land
In-between queen
[Verse 3]
I can’t go back
I know that much
The old life doesn’t
fit as such
But what’s ahead
I cannot see
So I’ll just be
this in-between me
[Bridge]
What
do I do
while I’m waiting?
[Final Chorus]
Well… this is awkward
Here I stand
No clear future
No solid land
In-between queen

[Verse 1]
I’m not the me
I used to be,
but I don’t quite know
what’s next for me.
I feel the shift
beneath my skin —
no clear way out,
no way back in.
[Verse 2]
One foot still
on something known,
the other feels
like air and stone.
I haven’t moved
in anyone’s eyes,
but deep inside
my soul still tries.
[Chorus]
This is the crossing,
the breath between —
not where I was,
not where I’ve been.
No map, no sign,
no steady floor —
but something’s here
worth waiting for.
[Verse 3]
I’m holding on
without a grip.
Becoming me
in this slow slip.
No rush to land,
no need to prove —
just trusting what
still dares to move.
[Bridge – spoken]
It’s not a step.
It’s a state.
I’m not behind.
I’m not late.
[Final Chorus]
This is the crossing,
where change begins —
the quiet shift
that starts within.
The space between
is not a lack —
it’s where I learn
I won’t go back.
[Outro]
I’m here.
Still crossing.
