The pathway did bend

~

 

Stood on a path between  

morning and night, 

watching as clouds filled the sky 

Asking the breeze as it  

flowed now in spite, 

what is the reason I cry 

 

Shouted in echoes that rang 

through the land, 

hoping some joy would be found 

Longing for someone  

to offer a hand, 

praying, my knees on the ground 

 

And then I saw her, 

 a smile divine, 

eyes of the faintest light blue 

Chardonay whispers 

of euphoric wine, 

now at a table for two 

 

Though there were miles 

and hours apart, 

happiness played on the hill 

Moments of sharing 

and touching the heart, 

warmth in the face of the chill 

 

Since then, I knew my 

direction would change, 

once straight, the pathway did bend 

No longer lonely, 

I now rearrange, 

thankful that you are my friend 

~

The sentiment of this poem is beautiful. The rhyme scheme is excellent. I will say that some more intention regarding italics and punctuation could make this even more impactful, but on the whole this is a lovely piece.

A beautiful write in such rhyme and meter that carried me on as if in the arms of a dear love. Beautiful Will

Another nicely done piece although, I notice that it doesn't appear, at least at first glance, to be a detective mystery!!
Hmmmm....))

Thanks a bunch John.

You sure don't. I don't know if this is a prayer answered or a wish granted, but it seems to have some at just the right time. I wonder how long she is going to remain just a friend.

[willweb]

That is always a concern I believe. Thanks John
