PA Wednesday prompt

Poetic Asides(PA) prompt for today is to write a poem based on another one. I have chosen “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost.

The Road Paved in Gold

I walk through life’s forest

one step at a time

angelic trees reach on high

so I may see the light,

flowing currents trickling by

my stream of consciousness.

Sometimes I trip

on tangled bramble,

I fall down, get lost and confused.

Dark shadows, twisted paths;

I know not which way to move.

Indecision is a leaf is a whisper

~floating without recourse~

until it lands right next to me.

My eyes follow the path it has taken,

up

up

up

I’m on shaky knees,

the path before me a cake walk

immediate gratification

sweet temptation.

The other trail

foggy, uncertain

my feet are all I see.

Faith is a road paved in gold,

paved to heaven.

I take that road to You

one step at a time.
