" 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

" 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

Two Roads 🛣️ By Jacky Kapadia Two roads unroll where morning breaks, One paved with promise, clear and wide; The other bends through silent lakes And shadows where old doubts reside. The first is lit by crowded flame, With signposts carved in public sight; The second bears no guiding name, Yet hums with undiscovered light. I weigh the maps of borrowed dreams Against the pull of untamed will, And hear within the crossing streams A choice that time alone can still. So step by step, I claim my way— Not led by fear nor shaped by crowd; For roads are vows we make each day, And walking one is choosing loud. ==================END=================== #TwoRoads, #poetry, #lifechoices, #journey, #decision, #path, #destiny, #selfdiscovery, #philosophy, #inspiration, #motivation, #mindfulness, #reflection, #hope, #courage, #future, #dreams, #freedom, #writing, #poem
