A poem about the two sides of life and if one has a choice in which to partake.
Questioning
Blue skies
Where does the future lead
Does it lead down some unknown trail
One full of jagged edges
Or is is a picture
Soft and vivid
Of colorful images
Looking around
A begger lay on the street before me
Drastic changes
Observation
Simplicity is a requirement
There were no wonders there
Only a begger man that looked striken
With filth and sickness
Not alone
But yet defeated
No blue skies in his eyes
Only a strong cold north wind
To carry ones spirit away
In another direction
Flowers blooming
Life budding forth
Smell of an ocean breeze
Tickling the nostrils with sheer tranquility
Delightful senses
Oblivious to the begger
Now two paintings
One dull
Grounded and frail
The other bursting with life
Reaching towards the sun and blue skies
More observation
Does one have the choice
In which to partake of
Or was this whole surreal image
Strangley just the road of life

I look at the picture and it gives me a wondrous kind of feeling like what to expect at the end of the curve. Something curious and definitely the way that we choose in life will definitely impact our journey throughout. I like your portraying of words here, very beautiful and thought-provoking. Thanks for sharing this beautiful piece.. 
Nice piece and I like the pic you used: every ties together well. Your on the right path!
