Two Roads Diverged in a Wood and I-

"Come with me, we will play among the bearded barley, nourish ourselves with the freshest fruit the earth can offer, we will sit by the lagoons and warm our toes in the sun, where no one can find us and nothing will harm us."

"Come with me, we will escape the world and retreat into the darkest recesses of the earth amongst the other creatures of the night, at nightfall we will surface and dance to the celestial music of the stars, where no one can find us and nothing will harm us."

And the girl, perched at the center of these two forces, of light and dark, her mind swung between the two voices, like a pendulum.
But her heart was rooted to only one.
