Often I wonder
about the road not taken
Often I wonder
about the wanderer
Does it matter in the end
that the destination was different?
The choices made
revealed failings only too well
warts and all, a mirror held to my face
Life – what is it that you seek to teach
where is it that you want me to reach?
Don’t I know only too well
that I have to try
though I might fail
an imperfect soul impaled –
by even more imperfect
Choices.

Dear Anjali,
I like this a lot. Thank you for it.
Our steps do often feel unsure, and yet we must walk.
All good wishes,

love it Anjali. I often wonder about the path I take in life…why should it be perfect? and who decides if it is or not?

Quite right Bina – why should it be perfect? Or even right? But often it takes a whole life-time to understand that 🙂

Hi Anjali, lovely poem. Have you tried reading any of your poetry backwards, line for line? This one reads well frontwards and backwards. Hope you decide to join us over at OctPoWriMo.com (a month of poetry in October), your poetry would be a nice addition.
