The Road Not Traveled

Walking upon the road That seems to lead nowhere clear Day or night, no difference Their sense, gone, alone. Not so long ago, There was music in the air Their was a dance in my step I wasn't alone. I walked with my love There was sunshine in the air Fragrance, sweet to the senses Then it was no more. All was gone like smoke Upon a road that goes on But where it leads, I care not And I stopped my walk. Sudden presence close A faint light dances nearby Looked up to see the moon That speaks to my soul. Lingers, its soft glow Urging me to move onward Upon the road not traveled Soon, where, it will show. A new place to go And I can walk with a song Day or night, no difference My soul now aglow.

Don't get off the road, Caroline you have found the place you are searching for. By the way you are only the second person I have met that spells their name the same as mine. I am Mary Cecile but was shortened to Marycile and now I go by Cile in my writing. Glad to meet you. God Bless, Cile

To walk a lonely but assured road could give lasting pay-offs than those often-travelled & busy alleys with oblivion-terminals … now, sister, a thousand congras for this final resolve! You’ve gotten more than one thousand angels to accompany along this new-found wonderful route into the only lasting bliss! Cheers! Canny
