The Road I Took

As the sun took leave of the Horizon The world got bathed in a warm golden hue, I could see my path snaking beyond And it was time to bid adieu, I knew.

On I move, a storm raging my mind A visage for my face and so much left unsaid, Worried what lies forth, with tears for whom i left I trudge ahead, unafraid.

I came upon a part upon where I stood And beheld what I  hadn’t expected all this while, For the road I followed had forked into two Which shouldn’t be anything but straight like the Nile.

The part to my right contrasted the other For it was devoid of a patch of green, Marred under relentless footsteps of masses Barren by conventions unseen.

The left, a different world, was lush and pristine I felt warm and with relief out came a sigh, For ages this had been the road not taken But I believed it was time this rule I defy.

Today I look back upon that choice And the lessons learnt in the end, I voice The right and the masses cant always be right, Listen to your heart, be it bright or night I didand so, rejoice!
