Those Sweet Smiles...... |
Taking a break to hail Yvonne's B'Day |
Would like to capture every smile |
Inspired by
Robert Frost’s THE ROAD NOT
TAKEN
I stuck
close to my shadow.
We gave each
other a smile of assurance
and headed
into the woods.
Dark it was
,
with the crescent moon occasionally
peeked
through the thin cloud,
leaving a
silvery trail at my feet.
The only
sound was the song of the cricket
and my
inaudible footsteps.
Then I came
to where the road diverged.
Standing
long between the two paths, I looked
down
As far as I
could.
One left a
clear trotted mark,
The other
bent nowhere
Far in the
undergrowth.
I stood a
moment longer.
Which should I take?
If you know
Robert Frost’s The Road Not Taken,
you’ll know the answer.
What
recalled me to Robert’s poem is the recent
preparation for TOP Exhibition. There
are quite a
lot of things that TOP members have to
overcome: the practice,
which writing form to do, the model script, the framing….
Most of us
never did it before. There’re quite a lot
of not knowing, undeciding, not sure
if it’s
okay…. But with the determination one felt
among TOP artists during
last Wednesday class
time, I know that you can climb any mountain
and cross any
sea.
This is the
closing verses of Frost’s original poem:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and
I---
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Good luck and blessed are those who dare take
challenges!
Nothing could beat your determination |
Deep in thoughts |
Need making up your mind |
Wish the B'Day Girl and good year ahead |
