The Staircase
The right path's not always clear, but it doesn't have to be14 total reviews

Wow! This is beautifully written. It reminds me of Frost's poem: The Road Not Taken.
I find both poems haunting and at the same time 'scary'. Just one mistake, one misstep can change our entire life. And even though I just turned sixty, I haven't still learned to be self-confident or to value myself.
Thanks for sharing.

Wherever you get inspiration from, we must use it. This picture is a brilliant source for getting the muse up and running. I like that you see daffodills, I've just planted loads of daffodill and tulip bulbs in pots outside, preparing for next year's spring. You also bring in God. Which is as it should be, because wasn't it Him that created this vision? I loved the discriptive words you've used, they open up more fields for our imaginations. Beautifully done, Yvette! :)) Sandra xx

This is lovely poem you have written. There is something about scene like this that I find intriguing. The meaning you seem to be focusing on with this scene, reminds me of what I've read about the importance of the dash. When on a person's tombstone you see written dates like 1930 - 2013. It isn't the first date nor the last date that matters but the dash in between which sums up that person life and how they lived it, which makes all the difference.

I once knew a staircase just like this. It was so overgrown it appeared to have been birthed of the earth. I loved to skip it though. I thought it magical. A beautiful offerinf from your talented hand. A virtual six and complimp, my lady. ;)) :))
Sending you my best today as always.

Daffodils are hardy flowers and always seem to brighten our path in spring as their bell-like heads seem to ring with faith and hope, I enjoyed your well chosen words Yvette, love Dolly x

I enjoy your creativity in this introspective poem. You started with the personification of the stairs and then the shining daffodils, which was only bright phrase here in this poem. You should write about your long week.
Well done.

Thanks for this "meandering" kind of poem. Lovely seeing the message of God's creation within, as well. The picture certainly goes well with your poem. Can't say I have seen you around for a while but perhaps it is I that has been remiss in not noticing you.

Sometimes the path that looks the least appealing or inviting is the one we should take. Where it leads is not the main concern - as what we learn along the way. Enlightenment is not a destination - but a journey.
