NaPoWriMo Day 2

Hello All. The prompt for today was to use Robert Frost’s wonderful poem The Road Not Taken as inspiration. It is a poem I love, so it was easy to run with this one. I hope you enjoy it.

 How Way Leads On To Way

 No sense of direction have I,
 Not naturally pulled by the tide.
 All instincts criss-crossed,
 My natural state is lost.
 I never worry of my whereabouts,
 Inside my head I have no doubts.
 I heard a wise man say
 That way leads on to way.
  
 Each turn I take is full of mystery.
 Please don’t try to East or West me.
 The sun, I use, just for warmth and light,
 The stars, add sparkle to the night.
 Though the journey might take longer,
 The call of the road grows stronger.
 I’m not concerned about a delay
 Knowing that way leads on to way.
  
 Trips are full of a brief digressions,
 Around the block style processions.
 You never know what you might see,
 The cutest porch, a flowering tree,
 That dog, those squirrels, I’m never unraveled
 By finding myself on the road less traveled.
 For me the joy of the day
 Is how way leads on to way.
