"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
