Cades Cove, Smokey Mountains, Tennessee, USA
Pathways into blue skies
Beckon unknown destinations
Memories guide the journey
Like a soft, heartfelt melody
Within a brown-green ribbon
Touching the ground
Emotions given freely
From the heart also travel
Flowing between us
From loves tethered bond
Binding our journey
Within the forest of life
There’s a path that’s taken
A fork speaks in riddles
As divergence from clarity
Staring toward the future
Indecision seems to languish
On anxious tiptoes
Into the fading distance
The choice that’s made
And the path less traveled.
The assurance of what is
Surrounding an unknown embrace
The doubts of what could have been

What could have been!
Question always remain. Very well put in words.
Like the idea of memories guiding journeys! Some beautiful thoughts!
Both the picture and the poem lead us ever onward.
The onward march of life. Nicely expressed.
Life moves forward, and you expressed this so tenderly. Beautiful poem!

well written sir
Wonderful journey Rob...beautifully penned thoughts!
The fork along the path is what makes it an exciting journey...
the melody of memories ... our lives are music.

Ah what could have been or might have been as well...one never knows on that journey where there is a fork and another path. That is where I am now- very bittersweet.
The eternal question: what if? Amazing how one always wonders what the other path might have been like. Pensive words.
"There’s a path that’s taken
A fork speaks in riddles"
spoke most to me.
I think our minds wandered down the same road with this prompt! You colored in a few more lines than I did! Very nice.
So good....
