The way under sunlit.



The way under sunlit.

I had two ways infront of me.
One was shady and another was sunlit.
I followed the first one
as the second one was full of plight.

So I walked comfortably
as I was under the shades.
The road under the scroching sun,
never came to my dreams.

I wanted to walk alone
as i didn't want to share my cosy shelter
and never turned to sunny path out of fear.

When I reached to the end,
I found shady path was no more
and found only sunny shore.

Now I ponder over one thing,
if I would start with sunlit path
later could i avoid the sun's wrath?

    Your reflective words beautifully capture the journey of choices and consequences. The metaphor of the shady and sunlit paths symbolizes the decisions we make in life, sometimes opting for comfort over challenge. Your contemplation on the potential outcomes raises the timeless question of whether facing difficulties early on might lead to a smoother path in the long run. It's a thought-provoking reflection on the balance between comfort and growth in life's journey.
