"I took the one less traveled by / And that has made all the difference" Robert Frost |
The road not taken, published in 1916 by Robert Frost is a favorite of mine. I was rereading the verse one night and drifted away. At 2:27 AM I awoke with this poem in my head. I wrote it down and left it lay for months. I always try to take a different way home, from my Rose's house. And, yes that has made all the difference.
Thank you Robert Frost.
The way home is always
the same
The houses and farms
pass in blurried colors without shape nor meaning
Matters not if the sun
is awake, storming or clearing
The way home is always
the same, once again
I side step each
adventure with every foreign street I ignore
What I have missed, I
can’t be sure
Something is beyond
that turn, waiting for someone
I should take the time
to see what is there
Who would know, whom
would ever care
I know, I do care for something
is waiting there
My something will have
to wait, for my someone can not
Maybe tomorrow, I will
grasp that turn and charge down that foreign street
Just to see what I have
missed all these years
Where do all those
streets go?
Where did all those
years go?
These years, never
caring, never knowing
The way home is always
the same
For all of us who never
stray, never take that chance
Never change
Never tumble the dice
The way home is always
the same
