On the Path Less Traveled by Accident

Did we meet when stars aligned?
Or when fate dragged our paths,
to coincide, to bump together, 
sidled up, side by side, 
by coincidence, in time and space?

Or did we slide into the same path by accident?
Enchanted to dance by chance, 
with happenstance and serendipity,
on a path less traveled?

We met in a deserted park,
in a deserted ghost town,
on a path way off the beaten track
Both coming to see how rising salinity
in the district's groundwater,
through excessive water use,
had ruined the crops, 
ruined the town's livelihood.
Everyone had left.
One of us came here, 
to yen its cause, 
the other with pen, 
to write a report.

In the park was a swing
with a rusty chain and black rubber seat.
The wind made the swing, 
swing to and fro, to and fro,
emitting a haunting creak.
Which drew us to share the
pathos of the scene.
Which to us, thus met,
made all the difference.

This path, this town, this park, 
this swing, this wind, this creak,
by accident, 
made all the difference!

Less traveled

I went my own way 
became a leader instead 
of following crowd

The Road Less Traveled

The other day I had a "first", two flat tires.
Could it have been worse?
I was on a narrow country road  and
driving very, very slow.
Suddenly my car made a loud pop
and then it fell. The right side dropped.
I drove a bit further with a little hesitation
and fortunately reached my planned destination.
I got out of the car and said, "oh no,
on this lovely day I'll need a tow".
I must have hit a pot hole.
Two thousand dollars I had to pay.
The road less traveled can stay that way..

The Road Less Traveled

"The Road Less Traveled"

Not all roads diverge in a wood,
Some lead to places misunderstood.
They wind and twist, never straight,
Leading us to a different fate.

While others take the path well-known,
The beaten track that's often shown,
Some of us crave a different view,
And choose the road that's less pursued.

It's not for fame or glory we stray,
But to find a new and different way.
A way that's harder, but more true,
A way that's meant for just a few.

The road less traveled is not for all,
It's for the brave who hear the call,
Who seek adventure, and a chance to see,
The world in all its majesty.

And so we take the path unknown,
With courage, hope, and faith we've shown,
That sometimes taking the harder way,
Leads us to a brighter day.

For life is but a winding road,
With many twists and turns bestowed,
And those who choose to go their own,
Will find a way to make a home.

So if you choose the road less traveled,
Know that you're not alone or addled,
But one of many who choose to see,
The world in all its mystery.

The Road Less Traveled

The Road Less Traveled

Know yourself and what you believe is right,
Then follow your path with all your might.
Sometimes you'll be alone on the road,
At others with others, yes quite a load.
Don't let the crowd define your way,
But your sense of right be your sway.
Some say to take the road less traveled,
Yet at times, for some, with your tribe stay raveled.
Each day we have a plethora of choices,
Make yours based on internal, belief based voices.
You'll find the same as I have dear,
That each night you'll sleep with a heart and head that's clear!

Road Less Traveled

My plans for a road that's less traveled
are looking a little unraveled;
inflation is roaring
and fuel costs are soaring...
Yikes, six hundred bucks for the gravel!

Road Less Traveled

Road Less Traveled

Tongue-tied relentless brain
Take a step back, realize your game
Overcome the noise - quiet the rain
Release grips on rising blame

Quick reactions stumble and fall
Emotionally bruised and raw
Crowded, pushed up to the wall
Shy, outspoken words of flaw

Personal boundaries cut from clay
Silent crowds still to tame
Reactive moments every day
Shifting focus away from shame

Speak from the temple within
Respect earned, not given
Straightened spine and a lifted chin
Spin a new web while remaining driven

Road Less Traveled

I know that life's a journey  
This road is lined with many holes
But there's still an urge inside me 
To leave the open road
To leave the first footprint 
On a path that isn't there
To face my fears of falling 
To replace them with loving cheers
I want to see the world 
With my pair of brand new eyes
In a way I've never seen it 
Without it's mask or disguise 
I want to hear the laughter 
To see the smiles all around
I want to know I'm not alone
When this path brings me down
To see the world shinning
And the friends I'm bound to make
Stiffens my choice of journeys
It inspires me not to break
So if I touch the heart
Of just a few just like me
I can say that I accomplished 
All I set out to be

The Road Less Traveled By Two Old People

Two old people took a road less traveled
Recently they did so
Age can confuse, disorient
Sometimes bad things happen though

The road ended choices presented
Should they go around the block
Back to the road traveled familiar
Or onto a road maybe see livestock

We chose the latter way to go
Time to us seemed to move slow
But then we realized, we were lost
Nothing looked familiar, although

Beauty seemed to surround the senses
Grandeur drew us to forget
We drove on in resplendence
Then a road her attention did whet

A road quite well traveled appeared
He bypassed in his daze
She told  him to turn around(they did) 
The way home found, glory! we praise

The Road Less Traveled By

Take the road less traveled by
The one of mud and filth
For nothing ugly ever lies
Alone, it counts its kills 

Take the road less traveled by 
The one of guilt and shame
This one might lead to misery 
And you’re the one to blame

Take the road less traveled by 
The one of blood and pain
The path leads nowhere but down
Just follow the cries of the slain

Take the road most traveled by
The one of flowers and song
Just remember, roses have thorns
And beauty may sometimes be wrong.

Forgiveness, the Road Less Traveled

Forgiveness, The Road Less Traveled
By: Miracle man 
2/28/2020

In each life, painful things are bound to occur,
and fires of revenge, from our thoughts, oft emerge.
Our lives aren't always found as we would prefer,
and absence of forgiveness becomes our scourge.

God's will is we forgive those doing us wrong,
showing mercy without placing condition.
Failing to forgive, misery we prolong,
placing ourselves in the other's position. 



Ephesians 2:1-3

1 And you [hath he quickened], who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

The Path Less Traveled - Variation of a Frost Poem

Two loves had I, a careless youth 
And sorry I could not love them both.
One I loved more, which is the truth.
The fair one, beautiful yet uncouth.
The other dared not swear her troth.

I chose the younger, as just as fair,
And as such perhaps I was to blame
For a mystery she would not share.
Though as for that my being there
Had judged them equally about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In my bed; my loving claque
Although I loved the first, the second stayed
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if she would ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two hearts converged in my bed, and I—
I took the one less experienced,
And that has made all the difference.

The Road Less Traveled

The road less traveled...
helps us to embrace uncertainty,
teaches us to trust in tenacity...
makes us to reflect on reality,
and shows us the beauty of rarity.
The road less traveled...
causes us to crave creativity,
brings us to the hill of humility,
takes us to the peak of positivity,
and shows us the depth of diversity.
The road less traveled...
Brings out the best in us
gives us foresight and focus...
teaches us to shun hocus pocus,
and helps us to find inner locus...

The High Road, Less Traveled

No prints
of feet up there
on high road less traveled
It is lonesome, but worth the hike.
Sublime

The Road Less Traveled

Journey into the world of wonder
Where reality is there to uncover
Learned to crawl, walk, and run
The ride started right before it began

The passage looked like a straight line
To a youthful soul everything was fine
A few bumps emerged here and there
None of which is such a big scare

Midway, conditions suddenly changed
Rains poured while thunders raged
Choices were laden to deal with chaos
An easy way out or dare to cross

The gate to hell is wide and open
Offering illusive bliss, an end to pain
The door to nirvana seems narrower
Yet eternal promise is there to consider

At the end of the rainbow is a pot of gold
Beyond the dark tunnel the bright light unfolds
But the way to heaven is hard to unravel
It should be it…yet it’s the road less traveled!
