Our Way Back Home

Our Way Back Home Walk with me, this path does lead us Curved and twisted thru the field Tempting is the destination And the secrets it may yield Around the bend an entrance beckons Long before the skies turn grey Shrouded by the lost horizon Wishing us to come and play Raindrops gather in abundance Threatening from over head High above our wayward footsteps Still we stroll along instead Golden grasses form the boundary Step between the flowing lines Quickly now the leaves are blowing Listen as the wind it whines Nestled in a frame like forest Set amongst the grandest view Love awaits our storm chased folly Calling out to me and you Fade the darkness from your vision Follow me to where I roam Needless now to brave the weather We have found our way back home

Thanks Chris for this pearl of wisdom. It is beautifully described. In the image you paint you seem to be teasing us with the ups and downs in a relationship which all ends well? Even if I'm wrong, it is still a great description and deserves a big 7...Maria

You are right my friend, many storms can rock a relationship but there is always a safe haven to allow it to heal become a bright sunny day again. Thank you Maria for you wonderful comment

Good Morning Chris. Once again I'm late and you won't be seeing this until Monday. Allow me to simply say this is solid well rounded and so the total package of theme words format and yes the emotive factor. PS. Wonderful execution with the rhyming. PSS. Your readers will follow you. Let there be love.

Very beautiful, and I have to agree with ilene's comments! Its funny because I am at a place in a book, where this poem applies to the characters I am reading!
