which way........

words resonate from their voice
clear syllables and letters of choice
experienced in knowledge of the world
reflected by their skill of word

can they depict all that you need
your hunger for wisdom and knowledge freed
or is there other things you should know
greening your life for your garden to grow

i often wonder about the paths that lay
in one direction you have a say
the other is filled full of the unknown
life experiences waiting to be grown

some need to follow a path of choice
others listen to their inner voice
who becomes the best that they can
does it really matter it's not the plan

hope and desire are forever fuelled
by unknown knowledge that is only ruled
by the quest to seek what they can
what is that path where is that plan

a map with directions where to go
or hidden doors with signs that slow
both with an ending that eventually reveals
are you happy with your life appeals

to compare the two would be sad
both lived a life to be glad
surviving everything that life demands
with a smile and hope that understands.........

Hi, Nuwahri61,
greening your life for your garden to grow... I love this image of adventure, and how the poet's poem embraces the unknown path as having its own value. "And that has made all the difference." (Frost) May we each go through life with a smile and hope that understands......... and be fortunate enough to find another to share the paths taken. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Serenity ......thanks for your thoughts ........it also relates to the two paths of life and who at the end of it attains more knowledge .......the secure structured life or the unstructured spontaneous one .......if that sheds a little more light on it ....just a thought ...once again thanks ...Regards Nugrin
