A Pathway In the Hills

A winding pathway up the hills My weary eyes can see, It ambles up a rocky ledge Then turns away from me; Beckoning to the horizon It canters on its way, Soft grass and dewdrops lacing it Gay butterflies at play; Vanishing beyond the ridge it Drops to the other side, Where a meadow I fathom lies With greenness astride; It cajoles me to follow it Through mist and dappled light, Till breathless on the windy peak I see a heartening sight; Grey wisps of smoke through chimneys quaint From cosy homesteads warm, Seems kind invitation I ought Accept without a qualm. **********

Nostalgia supreme! Hint of Robert Frost, "The Road Not Taken." Very evocative. Congrats. blessings/Shalom, AD.

Thanks Anil, for reading and liking these verses. I have always enjoyed Robert Frost... and perhaps his influence shows somewhere, though I did not have that particular poem in mind when I wrote this one. Do accept my best wishes!
