Of You, This My Journey

Of you, this my journey ~ Wide eyed illusions of spring flower wishes With maple trees dotting the land that I seek Open and lonely I stroll through the valleys Where grasshoppers sing and the whisperers speak Spaces between us with fields overgrowing And highways of asphalt as long as the sky Dreaming of visions I’ve found in your smile While longing your touch as I wish I could fly Everyday detours with corners and pot holes They seem to be daunting but I will succeed Of you, this my journey, my lone destination Now leading to you and all that I need Good night Soupers

Good Morning Chris. As a dreamer, I'll keep those beautiful illusions. Please allow me to say your entries need no attached image for the words are the imagery. Say hello to those detours and pot holes, I know them well (ha ha). Your work is beautiful. Well done in its entirety.

Sleep Chris, sleep the sadness away. Dream of love and of being together :) Sweet dreams my friend. And whatever the subject, your poems are always beautiful, and whatever the mood, it sweeps me off my feet and what you always tell me is true for you too. Your emotions are palpable in your poems, that's part of why they are so good.

No sadness here my friend, just a poem that came to me as I was writing. The ending seemed appropriate to where the pome was going. Thanks Darren for everything.
