Musings on Life, Love, and Linguine-Poetry & Writing
And though the
journey may be long
with the end
not in view
between sunrise and sunset
Life becomes clearer
“Some beautiful paths can’t be discovered without getting lost.”

A shorter road does not necessarily mean fewer choices, but the choices seem to become more clear.

There is a relief in letting go of what we cannot control. We cannot always see the road ahead. We can trust in choosing a path of love for today. Tomorrow will come soon enough.
I enjoyed your poem. Thanks for hosting OLN. I appreciate connecting with other poets through dVerse.

I love this shadorma, perhaps my favorite syllabic form. Always feels like a dance of some sort. I was having trouble wrapping my head around this, other than that it is just so simply beautiful, but I like the meanings some have noticed that taking each day as it comes increases the clarity. Long term goals and seeing the end point, can actually cloud our view and stop us from living this day. Loving this little poem more and more. 🙂
