Life's paths are many. Some, we must let go.

Overflowing

Life has been good,
life has been rolling.
Life takes many paths,
until it is overflowing.

Curiosity has its virtues,
the way new things are found.
But curiosity can be a sidetrack,
by the paths it takes you down.

Far above survival,
with leisure time galore.
We take the path less traveled,
if only to explore.

That path leads to another,
and another, on and on,
until we can go no further,
so many paths that continue on.

And so the cup of life is full,
full to overflowing.
And I must sip the essence there,
and let the rest keep flowing.

So if I've passed you up in life,
it is not for knowing.
It's just that there are so many paths,
too many for the going.

So if I pass your way but once,
and you do find me lacking,
I doubt if I will pass your way again,
I have no time for slacking.

For I am overflowing with love,,
with no regrets looking backing.

Dear Ronald,

"The greatest illusion in the world
is that there is but one path to follow."
©2006 Joseph* ~ OneLight*®

This stanza is brilliant:
"And so the cup of life is full,
full to overflowing.
And I must sip the essence there,
and let the rest keep flowing."

Thank You for this inspirational write.

Love & Light always and in all ways,
Joseph*

Curiosity has always caused me to at least take a peek down the roads that I don't believe that I have time to travel, but sometimes, as you have reminded here, those side jaunts lead us astray and and away from our focus and our chosen destiny. Give a wave as you motor on by though Ron, I promise I won't stand in your way to your chosen destination. Nice poem!
Take care,
Sherry

There are indeed many paths to follow, some to destruction, others to illumination, while others lead to opportunities untapped - and many other paths besides. Paths come in various terrains: we also have many walls to climb, bridges to cross, ditches to leap, and rivers to wade through. The list goes on.
An evocative piece of writing - as you can tell.

I appreciate this poem since I have a hard time accepting that I can't go down every path. I like the poem's playfulness because that's how I've come to terms with choosing beween them or letting some paths go. And, you ended the poem writing about overflowing love, the essence of it all. Thanks. JM

Yeah, there are many paths to take, and curiosity provokes many of our decisions to do so. There are also many diversions to be had, and many morons that one deals with in this life, especially in pursuit of our dreams.

It is always good to stop and mull over what we have accomplished, and where we are going, and take the appropriate steps to make good decisions and continue on the right path and in faith.

A great encouraging write ...
