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. _______________________________________ January 7, 2018 Written for Contest: Rhyme Me A Poem Theme: A Snowy Evening Walk Sponsor: Broken Wings

I had responded to this one at the beginning of this year and it's your SECOND best poem, judith, and rightfully so!! (though should be above the limerick haha)

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 : )

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

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
