Poem Commentary

I wrote this at about three in the morning. I really didn't like it or understand it at first, but It has kind of grown on me so... here it is!

The Star-Embedded Road

The star-embedded road is long and winding

No one person follows it to the same place

It is said lead you to true heart’s desire

But how desirable can it be if you travel it alone?

When star paths cross, does one’s desire become apparent?

Or does the merging path further burden its travelers?

And for the blind travelers, do they even know that they’re travelling?

Are they even?

Or are they in a constant stand-still till the path gives way and collapses from under their very feet?

And the storms on the journey; Do they blow travelers to another path, or become their total demise?

The star-embedded road is magic, you see

It is made up of the traveler’s personal fate and destiny

And only the traveler can determine where is leads them

A thought provoking read. Nice job. Rhymer www.freewebs.com/abcedit

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
