Poem Title:
Poem
You were here such a long time ago. I knew you not nor did I have a clue. I was just a silly giggly little fool. Days passed by until the Sun set too low. So I memorized the Stars at night watching them glow. I’d swear I’d never have believed you much less knew. Until, I went back into the past and chased the future ahead. That’s when I saw the trails and the paths lain from before. Some were laid in gold, others silver, even diamonds and lead. The Sun struck down on them and they shined even more. It was obvious by the color of branches in the trees that were dead. I could taste the honeydew trickling down my lips feeling my heart of hearts. I chased the birds and plucked a feather of a white dove just for you. I ran along the Sea shores and the Oceans belched a many a roar. Salt on my lips and free with the wind I knew I wanted more. The Moons beams shined down on me so I followed the shore. I found seashells and rocks of all kinds and saved them all. I even cleaned them up and gave names to a few too small. The Stars began twinkling brighter here and there. I watched them naming a few and one I made mine. Then I found the Mountains and how tough they fair. I rock climbed the highest ones and drew myself a line. I saw the snow fall and watched it melt. I just can not tell you in words how that felt. I ran through the fields and the prairies took my breath. I was alive inside just feeling my best, there was no death. The rains came pouring down watering the splendor grass. Thunders and lighting's all came in a great big flash. I’m alive inside and just feeling great. Passing through time I can never be late. On plated trails of past, present and future I am so alive. It’s a treasure hunt of buried beauties buried deep inside. And each vibrantly strives simply to thrive. And each one seeks where you hide. ®Registered: Ann Rich 2006
