When Two Roads Diverge

 

If the great Robert Frost himself, was right

and two roads really did diverge

leaving me a choice 

following the one I thought was right

how would I ever know

which one I should really choose?

and so

my reflection begins…

 

if they were both painted in colour?

 blue and green

 

well, green was the favorite colour of my  best friend 

I use the term was, because she is no longer here on earth

and blue because it’s my lucky colour

along with the number fifteen?

so if I chose the green one 

would I be completely

respecting my best friend who died?

trusting a ghost that I will always love?

trusting it was lucky for her?

or respecting my very own good luck? 

and if I chose the blue one

for my very own selfish reasons

and it didn\'t work out 

would I always wish

I\'d chosen the green? 

because green is the colour

that remind me of her face?

 

I can certainly tell you this

sometimes…

life\'s conundrums are surely wasted

on a poet.
