James Marshall Goff Poet Choka

Our Meadow In Ukraine, a Prayerful Wish

When walls crumble down
And dreams lay strewn and scattered
Remember our place
Deep in the mountain forest
Through the sharp-thorned brush
A meadow creekside
Times like this our shelter built
Roof for our gardens
Fresh flowing water nearbye
Wildflowers in Spring
Bountiful summer veggies
Fireside in Winter
I'll meet you there my true love
If God parts our path
To look once more in your eyes
Pressing your heart against mine

Eve Roper March 9, 2022 at 6:22 PM Very romantic verse, James. Thoughts of what my husband use to describe when he would drive me up to the old settlements in the mountains. The old sparse , broken down sheds were still standing. A great prayer for the Ukraine people. James Marshall Goff March 10, 2022 at 1:50 PM Thank you Eve...

Valsa George March 8, 2022 at 1:22 AM "I'll meet you there my true love If God parts our path To look once more in your eyes Pressing your heart against mine"..... These lines engender such deep feelings in the heart ! Nothing is certain, especially when a war is going on. A very emotive write, dear friend James ! James Marshall Goff March 8, 2022 at 7:26 AM Thank you Valsa!

Sara Kendrick February 28, 2022 at 2:01 PM Very romantic and emotive work considering what is going on in that part of the world. Sad situation. Nuclear War is not what the world is wanting but we want the death and destruction to end in that part of the world. I enjoyed reading this one. Sara James Marshall Goff March 1, 2022 at 7:56 AM Dreams are free, reality is cruel for sure, Sara...
