Judith S Poet Rhyme

A Snowy Evening Walk

The snow wafts gently down
Softly and quietly coating the ground
With a silence so loud
Blankets earth like a shroud
Trees hold snow laden boughs
My steps as I walk make barely a sound

I take this path alone
Pondering certainties that are unknown
The twists that living takes
Mistakes we sadly make
The tears for loving’s sake
The many ways which our love hasn’t grown

Lamps aglow light my way
This beauty conflicts my heart that’s so gray
Now I wish you were here
But instead my heart fears
As our love disappears
I’ve pushed you away and there you will stay

This snowy evening stroll
And I realize your love feeds my soul
I  beg of you return
So much we need to learn
It’s for you my heart yearns
Without you my darling I can’t be whole.

Connie Marcum Wong February 4, 2018 at 12:19 AM I missed this reading this beautiful poem Judith. I found it on the Best New Poems list. I was enthralled with the wonder of it. I must put it into my Faves! The beautiful image of snow falling and the music added to its beauty. I can't believe it was not on the winners list. I hope this goes all the way to the top of the New Best poems list. Hugs, Connie xxoo : ) Judith S February 4, 2018 at 7:30 PM Thank you so much dear Connie! I always appreciate your amazing comments. It didn't even make the list in the contest because I made one little mistake in syllable count :) Now I know better. Thanks for your visit!!! ~Judy

Mick Talbot January 22, 2018 at 5:57 AM A poetic comment: I know not where you abide. I read your poem then I cried. Loneliness in the gently falling snow, let it not freeze or douse your glow. The moon fears you have a whim, It begs keep your love don't follow him. The love is in your heart where ere you go. Remember, and you'll never walk alone in the snow. Lonely, your heart still love warm I, we all for pray you that its not love forlorn! Take care... Mick Judith S January 22, 2018 at 2:44 PM Ohhh Mick!!! What an absolutely beautiful reply!!! I just LOVE this. And it really is very, very meaningful. "The love is in your heart where ere you go. Remember and you'll never walk alone in the snow".
