Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Journeying

By your side I choose to travel
Yet this trip I do solo
To the depths of a secret pool
I dive and must explore alone

Such depths far from barren
Things recovered are hard to explain
Like living pearls from the sea
Preciously brought back

Barely seedlings needing care
Please understand when I tell you
I nurture them in my heart
Till they take root and
Slowly grow as flowers in a garden

It’s still early spring but
I look forward to the day
You will notice it beyond the fence
And want to be invited
To walk through my inner garden
As you trod along your own journey

Old Buck March 13, 2018 at 6:24 PM Line: I'm not one to Kibitz but I might have used "nurture" where harvest is? I know, write your own. :o( This is a lovely piece and I appreciate your sharing it with all of us on the soup. Keep them coming. oldbuck Line Gauthier March 13, 2018 at 6:39 PM I took you up on your most appreciated suggestion. Thank you so much, my friend.

Viv Wigley March 13, 2018 at 2:03 AM What a lovely write, Line, and I do like the opening lines, slightly contradicting and posing questions, where? why? A thoughtful, and hopeful, piece. Viv x Line Gauthier March 13, 2018 at 9:54 AM Thank you, Viv. I much appreciate your visit and comment.
