"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

"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

" At the Fork " By Jacky Kapadia At the fork where quiet roads divide, One paved with echoes of what’s been, One lit by doubt and daring stride, I pause between the now and then. The first is lined with borrowed light, Familiar signs I’ve learned to read, The other bends beyond my sight, A path that asks for faith, not speed. Each choice reshapes the name I wear, Each step edits the tale I tell, For destinies are drawn in air By how we choose to walk, not dwell. So I lift my eyes from fear’s design And trust the pull of truer art— Not where the crowd has drawn the line, But where the soul declares its start. ==================END=================== #AtTheFork, #Poetry, #LifeChoices, #Crossroads, #DecisionMaking, #Journey, #SelfDiscovery, #InnerVoice, #NewBeginnings, #Reflection, #MindfulLiving, #PathLessTraveled, #Hope, #Courage, #Growth #poem
