I Crawl Through the Thicket

I crawl through the thicket O’er windswept conclusions a’ mist in the air In fragrance that comes to my heart so aware Of sundrenched magnolia beneath empty shade To steal every ounce of your caring displayed I touch to the heavens a wing and a prayer Belief in the joy that is felt everywhere When oceans fall further than all eyes can see This love will eternally find you from me When clouds of confetti, the song of the dove The sweetest rendition of musical love Does float on the breezes of everyday flow A’ twisting and turning until it can show Those mountains of glory that stand in the way Exceeding the plan that we set forth this day Can not comprehend what my pure love will do No matter the hurdle, I send it to you Since dawn hath approached in a place before time So simple the earth as our life does unwind No flowers of blossom still yet find the ground A desolate nature lies lost in its sound Lone rivers of feelings that wander so free O’er rain cast endeavors drop life from the sea When all that is new shines a star up above The light of its journey shall bring you my love From deserts of sand to a sandy white shore The pain shall be nothing each day I endure I crawl through the thicket, my hands and my knees If only a moment your sweet life to please No valleys of darkness so endless and deep Nor rock scattered caverns through which I do creep Shall keep me from finding the pathway to you To bring you a love that forever is true

Morning Chris. I see you have been introduced to the traditional greats that came before us. I may not write in traditional language and voice but I can spot it miles away and so appreciate it. There is nothing to critique here but only to say this is poetry with much attention to detail. You rhyme well which is one of the main elements of this craft. Have a wonderful morning.

I crawl through the thicket too. It is a long way, but I don't care, there are oceans between, and borders, a lot of work, and a lot of love. Nothing can keep one away from the loved one, nothing. Very beautiful and determined poem, my friend, and so endearing.

I love the determination of the poet to reach for his love above mountains..through thick bushes....Till He will meet her..and She ll dry up all those lonely rivers..Sad..yet hopeful..I can feel longing..and the bravery of a knight here in search for his dove.Confetti give me a matrimonial feeling...I dont knw why..Always did..and of rainbows :).Loved it.
