When we walk through a straight road, we know what lies ahead! But when we reach a bend, we cannot see what is there before us. It can be a rugged path unlike the one we have so far travelled, strewn with hard rocks and thorns or it could be a door opening to new vistas of opportunity and chance. All depends on our luck! A lovely poem, deep and profound!
Life's path, keenly observed and trutfully told. Life path is constantly like these realities as described in this excellent poem poetically rendered. Thank you so much for sharing, a 10 Full Score for this impressing poem.
Glad I returned to read this poem again!
