Winter's Roads
by Ron Carnell
I cannot speak for all who stem
'Long roads less traveled as their way,
Nor question choices made by them
In days long past or nights long dim
by words they spoke and did not say!.

Each road is long, though short it seems,
And credence gives each road a name
Of fantasies sun-drenched in beams
Or choices turned to darkened dreams,
To where each road wends just the same!.

From North to South, then back again,
I followed birds like all the rest
Escaping nature's snowy den
On roads I've seen and places been,
Forsaking roads that traveled West!.

This journey grows now to its end,
As road reflections lined in chrome
Give way to roads with greater bend
And empty signs that still pretend
They point the way to home sweet home!.

But all roads lead to where we go
And where we go is where we've been,
So home is just a word we know,
That space in time most apropos
For where we want to be again!.

For even home, it seems to me,
Is still a choice we all must face
From day to day and endlessly,
To choose if home is going to be
Another road - or just a place!.



1916 Mountain Interval
The Road Not Taken
by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black!.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back!.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference!.

Both of these poems mean alot to me, perhaps because of the roads I've traveled in life already and perhaps because of the road I still see ahead!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

One of my favourite poems :-)

Be Drunk - by Charles Baudelaire

You have to be always drunk!. That's all there is to it--it's the
only way!. So as not to feel the horrible burden of time that breaks
your back and bends you to the earth, you have to be continually
drunk!.
But on what!?Wine, poetry or virtue, as you wish!. But be
drunk!.
And if sometimes, on the steps of a palace or the green grass of
a ditch, in the mournful solitude of your room, you wake again,
drunkenness already diminishing or gone, ask the wind, the wave,
the star, the bird, the clock, everything that is flying, everything
that is groaning, everything that is rolling, everything that is
singing, everything that is speaking!. !. !.ask what time it is and
wind, wave, star, bird, clock will answer you:"It is time to be
drunk! So as not to be the martyred slaves of time, be drunk, be
continually drunk! On wine, on poetry or on virtue as you wish!."

Charles Baudelaire Www@QuestionHome@Com

To touch the cup with eager lips and taste,not drain it;
To woo and tempt and court a bliss-and not attain it;
To fondle and caress a joy,yet hold it lightly,
Let it become necessity and cling too tightly;
To watch the sun set in the west without regretting;
To hail it's advent in the east-the night forgetting;
To smother care in happiness and grief in laughter;
To hold the present close--not questioning hereafter;
To have enough to share--to know the joy of giving;
To thrill with all the sweets of life--is living!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
