" The Crossroads in the Wood " By Jacky Kapadia At dawn I reached a crossroads in the wood, Where silent pines stood tall as if they knew; Each winding path held secrets where I stood, And whispered of the dreams I might pursue. One trail was bright with promise and with speed, Another curved through shadows, calm and slow; Between the two stood choice—my quiet need, To trust the inner voice I’ve come to know. The forest listened softly as I stayed, While drifting light danced gently through the trees; For every step a destiny is made, Carried onward by uncertain breeze. So forth I walked where courage led my way, Through rustling leaves beneath the open sky; For crossroads shape the stories we convey, And guide the roads where restless hearts may fly. ==================END=================== #Poetry #InspirationalPoetry #NaturePoetry #Crossroads #LifeChoices #ForestPoetry #MotivationalPoem #poem #CreativeWriting #PoemOfTheDay #WritingCommunity #PoetryLovers #LiteraryInspiration #Poem

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
