Best The Path Poems

THE PATH WELL TRAVELLED.

Two paths diverged, and I was thrown by doubts I had never known
To my left, thickly overgrown, was a path to dismal dimness prone.

To my right, a lovely sight-fragrant flora flamed in light
Forms so graceful, beauty rare, a...

Nights once brought such pleasant dreams
But the sweet memories no longer exist
As persistent nightmares continue to insist
Those dreamy-nights never belonged to me.

Searching for meaning of this dubious feeling
I surmise it emanates from spurious instincts
Residing where he once held my throne 
Refusing to depart from the...

Whichever pathway you decide to choose,
They’ll always be lessons and lots of clues.
On every pathway, lessons will exist, 
Finding truth will require that you persist.

Walking a path, does not learning assure.
Takes more than presence, learning to secure.
From your doubt you ask, “why aren’t I learning?”
Lacking...

Walk on the path of love
by your very soul.
Listen to the laughter of your heart 
alone..
Feel in the sweet sound of the light steps of love
sashaying in your whole
alone..
Bathe in the warm flow of love
till your soul is suffused with beauty.
Let your love be enshrined...

Don't fall through the cracks,
through the floorboards
past the pipes
hot water hissing
grey metallic stun gun dull.
Don't land on the basement steps,
slipping on down
bumping the back bone
breaking the fall
with your body gone white like you know it so well.
Don't let the swallow of house
and of home
consume you
in...

A playful rhythm arises from within
It is, it is, oh so mood uplifting
Each breath intake sees joy afresh begin
Light that ignites us, to vast space gifting

The flame of bliss flickers not in the breeze
Vagaries of fate have on us no hold
Throb of rapture we embrace...

On the  gurgling  remains of Winter 
as she seeps back into the earth  
on a path around a lake 
flanked by the casualties of winter's breath
cattails...
brown and bent with broken heads
backs turned to the pale yellow corn stock stubble 
standing in mud...

Between hope and despair, joy and sorrow,

The path of our life, Thee have traced, my Lord,

So as we live both through good and evil

Before You grant the soul, heaven's reward!

My love softly walks with my heart in hand
down a path that will lead 
to the center of my being.
In the windows that are my loves eyes
I can see the promise of all tomorrows.
With the caress of a hand a declaration
of what is yet to...

A lighted candle shows the way of the true path
After the storms of life have caused an aftermath
Pride while valiant is the root of destruction
A careless and foolish mind accepts assumption

Constrictive and blocking oneself from harm creates a cold heart
Block by block losing the fear;...

You took the short path,
in life many do.
I took the long path,
for the lovely view.
Blue shiny water,
I wanted to see....

I always wished it was easy to acquire happiness, 
but it’s moments like the one I’m facing, 
that strengthens my emotions and builds my character. 

Nothing is appreciated nor gained from easiness. 
It’s the difficulties of this situation,
that brings out the best in me, 
while...
