Two Roads
In a deep wood, paths diverge,
Two roads beckon, whispers merge.
One, worn by many feet, golden grain,
The other, mysterious, shadows reign.
Two roads, choices define fate,
A life's crossroads, where choices debate.
Each step, a story unfolds anew,
Reflecting choice in morning dew.
Meaning
