My Dream Journey

I'd long planned for this journey,
back to where we first had met,
and to the promises we made
that I could not forget.

I walked the streets in search of that
enchanted time we knew,
when all the world was young and it
revolved around we two.

The streets had turns I didn't know;
I was confused and lost.
The signs had all been jumbled at
each avenue I crossed.

Defeated, I retraced my steps.
The past I could not find.
It was then I knew, the path to you,
lies only in my mind.

Joyce this poem is absolutely beautiful. I have rated it a seven. I am saddened that it did not get entered in my contest. I have done exactly the same thing, on occasion, wrote the poem, but forgot to enter. It is very disappointing. But this a winner in my eyes, and one day, enter it in another contest, that fits the theme, because you have done an excellent job in writing it.. Constance
