" 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
