Paths To Ponder

This location in the deep woods
Amongst the mist
With the moss filled aroma in the air 
This place is where 
She misplaced him so long ago 
Now peace lingers  
As she passes the trail where she buried him 
A secret she keeps, 
While endlessly smirking



(Note this is not about my husband!)

You know, this started off as a sad memory, but you sure came up with a Hitchcock-like twist at the end. (And I'm glad it's not about your husband!) Great write! Love, Carolyn
