"The Road Not Taken, or Was It? " By Jacky Kapadia Two paths once whispered through the trees, One dressed in gold, one veiled in green, I paused between their quiet pleas— Yet chose the one I’d always seen. For was it choice, or subtle design, A leaning heart, a patterned mind? Did I decide, or did time align To guide me gently, undefined? I speak of courage, roads untried, Of daring steps and fearless will, But truth walks softly at my side— Perhaps I followed echoes still. And years will paint this tale as mine, A path unique, a fate I cast, Yet in the end, I trace the line… Was it my choice—or shadows past? ==================END=================== #theroadnottaken, #inspirationalpoetry, #philosophicalpoem, #deepmeaningpoetry, #lifechoices, #decisionmaking, #fatevschoice, #motivationalpoetry, #modernpoetry, #reflectivepoetry, #originalpoetry, #thoughtprovoking, #creativewriting, #emotionalpoetry, #symbolicpoetry, #destinyvsfreewill, #shortpoems, #literarypoetry, #artisticwriting, #poetrycommunity, #lifejourney, #introspective, #meaningfulpoetry, #humannature, #deepthoughts

"All the Difference? " By Jacky Kapadia In quiet choices no one sees, Between the doubt and quiet belief, A whispered “try” in trembling breeze Can turn a moment into relief. The path divides in subtle ways, No grand signpost, no trumpet’s call, Yet one small step through shadowed haze May shape the rise or stall the fall. A word withheld, a hand once lent, A pause before the heart decides, Such fleeting acts, so lightly spent, Can shift the course of hidden tides. And in the end, when we look back, Through woven time’s indifferent thread, We find it’s not the things we lack— But smallest choices—where we led. ==================END=================== #poetry, #poem, #poetrycommunity, #poetrylovers, #poetsofinstagram, #writersofinstagram, #writingcommunity, #creativewriting, #poetrydaily, #poetryofinstagram, #poemsofinstagram, #inspirationalpoetry, #motivationalpoetry, #lifechoices, #decisionmaking, #deepthoughts, #meaningfullife, #philosophypoetry, #reflectivepoetry, #soulfulwriting, #emotionalpoetry, #modernpoetry, #freeverse, #literaryart, #wordsmith, #artofwords, #poetrygram, #thoughtprovoking, #innerjourney, #selfreflection

" Against the Common Way " By Jacky Kapadia Against the common way I chose to stand, Where footprints fade before they shape the land, No guiding signs, no echoes left to hear, Just restless winds that whispered, “Do not fear.” They walked in lines where certainty was sold, In measured steps, predictable and cold, But I sought storms that shattered quiet skies, For truth, I learned, in wild defiance lies. The road untraveled carved me into flame, Each doubt a spark, each loss a forged new name, While comfort called from paths so neatly drawn, I chased the dusk and found myself in dawn. So let them follow where the many go, In borrowed light they’ll never truly glow, For those who dare to break and drift away, Will write their stars—against the common way. ==================END=================== #Poetry, #InspirationalPoetry, #MotivationalPoetry, #OriginalPoem, #CreativeWriting, #PoemOfTheDay, #WritersOfInstagram, #PoetryCommunity, #Inspiration, #SelfDiscovery, #FollowYourOwnPath, #BreakTheNorm, #AgainstTheGrain, #BeDifferent, #DareToBeDifferent, #ThinkDifferent, #LifeJourney, #InnerStrength, #Courage, #MindsetMatters, #PersonalGrowth, #SuccessMindset, #DreamBig, #StayUnique, #PositiveVibes

" The Path " By Jacky Kapadia Along a quiet road where dawnlight softly lies, A winding path unfolds beneath the open skies. Each step we take reveals what once we could not see, A journey shaped by hope and silent destiny. The path is never straight; it bends through shade and sun, Through trials that test the strength of everyone. Yet in its turns we find the courage deep within, A quiet voice that urges us to still begin. With every mile, new lessons gently come to light, Like distant stars that guide the traveler through the night. The path may ask for patience, faith, and steady will, But those who walk it bravely find their spirits still. And when we pause to look behind at where we’ve been, We see the strength we gained through loss and discipline. For every path we walk, though uncertain it may be, Leads closer to the person we are meant to be. 🌿 ==================END=================== #poetry, #poem, #thepath, #inspirationalpoetry, #lifejourney, #poetrycommunity, #writersofinstagram, #poetrylovers, #motivationalpoetry, #creativewriting

" How the Years Have Changed It " By Jacky Kapadia Time once whispered softly through innocent days, Where dreams were simple and skies seemed wide. Moments moved slowly in golden haze, And hope walked gently by our side. The streets we knew now echo new sounds, Old laughter fades in distant air. Familiar paths have shifted grounds, Yet memories linger everywhere. Faces grow wiser, stories grow deep, Lessons arrive where youth once played. Promises kept and some we keep, While shadows dance where light once stayed. Still through the changes the years have spun, A quiet strength within remains. For though the past and present run, The heart remembers what time contains. ✨ ==================END=================== #poetry, #poem, #poetrylovers, #poetrycommunity, #poetrywriting, #poets, #poetscommunity, #poetryofinstagram, #poetrylife, #poetryinspiration, #poetrydaily, #writersofinstagram, #writerscommunity, #creativewriting, #poemabouttime, #passageoftime, #reflections, #lifejourney, #memories, #nostalgia, #emotionalpoetry, #thoughtfulpoetry, #deepthoughts, #inspirationalpoetry, #motivationalpoetry, #literaryart, #modernpoetry, #poeticwords, #poeticexpression, #timelesspoetry, #reflectivewriting

" Looking Back " By Jacky Kapadia Looking back through quiet lanes of time, Where faded echoes softly stay, Each memory writes a silent rhyme Of lessons gathered along the way. The roads once walked with restless feet, Now shimmer with a wiser glow; What once felt bitter or incomplete Has shaped the strength we come to know. The past, though distant, gently speaks Through moments carved in heart and mind; In every loss the spirit seeks A deeper truth it hoped to find. So looking back is not regret, But gratitude for paths we tread; For every dawn the past has set Lights brighter dreams that lie ahead. ✨ ==================END=================== #poetry, #poem, #poetrycommunity, #poetrylovers, #poetrywriting, #creativewriting, #modernpoetry, #inspirationalpoetry, #motivationalpoetry, #poemoftheday, #writerscommunity, #writersofinstagram, #writerslife, #lookingback, #lifejourney, #reflection, #memories, #lifequotes, #inspiration, #selfreflection

" The Unique Turn " By Jacky Kapadia At every crossroad life appears the same, Familiar roads with promises well-worn; Yet quiet paths, unnamed and without fame, Hold hidden dawns where truer selves are born. A single choice can tilt the course of days, Like wind that shifts the journey of a sail; What once seemed loss may open wiser ways, Where courage grows each time we choose to fail. The world applauds the roads that many tread, Predictable, secure, and widely known; But growth begins where uncertain steps are led, Where daring hearts claim journeys of their own. So when the moment calls for change and nerve, Embrace the bend where old directions burn; For destiny is shaped by those who swerve— By souls unafraid to take the unique turn. ✨ ==================END=================== #Poetry, #Poem, #InspirationalPoetry, #MotivationalPoetry, #LifePoetry, #CreativeWriting, #PoetryCommunity, #PoetryLovers, #PoetryOfTheDay, #PoetryGram, #PoetryLife, #ModernPoetry, #OriginalPoetry, #WritersCommunity, #WritersOfInstagram, #SpilledInk, #PoetrySociety, #PoetryInspiration, #LifeJourney, #PersonalGrowth, #SelfDiscovery, #MindfulLiving, #LifeChoices, #FollowYourPath, #UniqueTurn, #BelieveInYourself, #PositiveVibes, #InspiringWords, #MotivationDaily, #ArtOfWords

" A Morning’s Choice " By Jacky Kapadia The dawn arrives with quiet grace, Soft amber light on earth’s embrace, A whisper stirs in skies so wide— A day of paths yet undefined. The breeze invites the mind to roam, Beyond the walls we call our home, Each step a promise yet untried, Where hope and courage walk beside. The heart must choose its gentle way, Through doubt that fades with rising day, For every dream that dares to start Finds silent strength within the heart. So greet the sun with lifted sight, Let purpose guide the morning light, For in the calm of dawn’s first hue Awaits the choice that shapes the you. 🌅✨ ==================END=================== #poetry, #morningpoem, #morninginspiration, #inspirationalpoetry, #motivationalpoetry, #poemoftheday, #dailypoetry, #poetrycommunity, #poetrylovers, #poetrywriting, #creativewriting, #writerscommunity, #writersofmedium, #writersoflinkedin, #poetryinspiration, #mindfulpoetry, #thoughtfulpoetry, #poetryart, #modernpoetry, #literarypoetry, #shortpoem, #inspiration, #morningmotivation, #newbeginnings, #riseandshine, #positivethinking, #selfreflection, #lifechoices, #personalgrowth, #motivationalwriting

" Where the Paths Diverge " By Jacky Kapadia Where the forest breathes in quiet shade, Two silent roads before me lie; One worn by countless hurried feet, One whispering softly, “Only try.” The first was bright with promised ease, Its surface smooth, its future clear; The other curved through mist and doubt, Yet stirred a quiet call to hear. I paused between the pull of both, Where choice becomes the shaping art; For every step a traveler takes Leaves unseen footprints on the heart. So on I walk the road unknown, With courage as my steady guide; For where the paths at last diverge, The truest journeys start inside. ==================END=================== #poetry, #poem, #poetrycommunity, #poetrylovers, #originalpoetry, #modernpoetry, #inspirationalpoetry, #motivationalpoetry, #creativewriting, #writerscommunity, #poetsofinstagram, #poetrywriting, #lifechoices, #pathinlife, #journeyoflife, #selfdiscovery, #deepthoughts, #thoughtprovoking, #literarypoetry, #reflectivepoetry, #writersofinstagram, #poetryinspiration, #artofwords, #poeticexpression, #mindfulwriting, #poetrygram, #inspiringwords, #lifejourney, #meaningfulpoetry, #soulfulwriting

"One Moment to Decide " By Jacky Kapadia In the quiet pause between doubt and will, Where time seems soft and the world stands still, A single breath, a fleeting tide— Is all we’re given to choose our side. The road ahead is veiled in haze, Lit only by our hopeful gaze; Yet courage blooms where fears reside, Within that moment we must decide. No map can show what lies beyond, No promise carved, no sacred bond; But hearts grow strong when faith is guide, And dreams awaken when we decide. For life is shaped not by the years, But by the steps we take through fears; And destinies are born with pride, In just one moment—to decide. ==================END=================== #poetry, #poem, #poetrycommunity, #poetsofinstagram, #writersofinstagram, #instapoetry, #poetrylovers, #poetrydaily, #creativewriting, #poetryinspiration, #motivationalpoetry, #inspirationalpoem, #lifechoices, #decisionmaking, #couragequotes, #mindsetmatters, #selfgrowth, #personaldevelopment, #lifejourney, #faithandcourage, #motivationalwriting, #writerscommunity, #poetrygram, #deepthoughts, #powerofchoice, #inspirationdaily, #wordstoliveby, #poetrysociety, #modernpoetry, #thoughtprovoking
