Fork in the Road

field

what if I choose

neither left

or right

just because

there is no path

laid between the two

 

the grass is still sweet

the creek still flows

and at the end

the journey will be

different

unplanned

 

where my feet wander

is  where my heart calls from

I can hear it leading me

between

neither left

or right

    Exactly. Why be limited two the two options that are visible and tried before? Thanks for this.

    You don’t have to chose either, you can make your own path and create as you go, or enjoy the surprise! Good poem.

    Forging a different path is admirable – at least in my opinion. Nice work!!

    that’s certainly a good attitude in life. I’d be wary about doing that near boggy land though….

    Nothing can be better than following that beckoning from the heart.

    i believe if we all listened to ‘where the heart calls from’ it would be a blessing of monumental proportions…

    Sounds like you might have been writing about the way I’ve often approached life! :o ) Nice job!

    Wonderful, Pam! Follow your heart is a good rule. Sometimes there are hurts from doing that but the walk is wonderful at first. (I followed Adi’s heart in my OSI. :-) )

    That sounds like a good plan to me. Great shot.

    Oh I love that!!! Who says you HAVE to choose one over the other? Just make a new one! Beautifully done!

    that feet do have
    a heart of their own
