May the Road Never End

I Walked alone on a rainy day through an abandoned road,
        with lofty trees and bushes at the sides;
No one ahead and no one behind; and I prayed
         "May the road never end"

Bracing nimbus clouds spattered cool crystal drizzles
   and soft breeze pierced the bamboo stems,
Raised beguiling flute music, made me pray
    "May the road never end"

Slippery road embellished with fallen dry leaves,glittered;
   Stepped over colorful leaves to see the nearby trees,
with ripened fruits and singing birds ;and I prayed
   "May the road never end"

Raindrops from wet leaves hit my head;healed my wound
  Haunting scent from wild flowers spellbound
and Cute prattle between flying squirrels,made me pray
    "May the road never end"

A sudden gust of wind blew my black umbrella,
      and the impulsive rain drenched me,
cleansed my soul and my hurdles flew away and I prayed
    "May the road never end"

Loved this poem for it's lyrical feel Supraja, repeating lines are tantalizing, however in a free verse poem, repeating lines feel like a rhyme, so a lower placement is the result, in any other contest this would be a top winner

Thank you so much John...So glad you liked it... Thank you for the placement... Oh, it's my mistake... I should have entered a pure free verse for this contest... That's ok... I will be more careful from now on... Thanks again...
