A Solitary Road

When we travel through the solitary road Not taken by many of those happy crowd Hardly we glimpse the direction board Rather drench in the showers of depreciative words Pondering over our desired destination Wondering about the mystical citations Dreading the results of our action We may feel perturbed and agitated Like a daunted child Abandoned in the field wild We feel exhausted and dejected At this crucial time, will emerge an angel Like the god who appears in a child's dream To make him smile like a sunbeam arises as an angel, our inner strength Help us traverse the road lengthy The spirit inside us hauls good spirits and souls Who will travel along with us To make our journey successful So when we travel through the solitary road Not taken by many of those happy crowd Never look up for the direction board Do not carry those depreciative words Rather kindle your inner force For the road's end, it foresees And drive you complete the course May 9 2022

great advice to those who choose the road less traveled....humans have a right to their opinion....and we have the right to ignore it....paradise is between the ears and that is my job, not the world....good poem

You write with thought provoking intensity my friend - traversing alone and down a solitary road is a risk one must think of before they venture on it, but you have created a Superb write whilst traveling this solitary road - Great, wonderfully crafted poem Supraja. Hugs, blessings, Jennifer.

'Keep on walking to the end of the road' your poetry reminds me of the song from long ago. LOve the high spirited mind as you ramble on to the end.

Always a risk to transverse solitary road. But if you have a map you will find your destination.

A less traveled road always poses many challenges. But don't be discouraged by negative reactions or proceed dreading the results ! Focus on the destination and keep treading with confidence, gearing up the inner strength ! Definitely the journey will end in success. Very inspirational, Supraja !

Wonderful exploration through nature's landscape--much to learn from and contemplate on the solitary paths--no one has yet taken. A FAVE for your theme--Let nature show the way to destination.
