Roads

Paved roads hinder
were dust settles
Somewhere on that old road, 
Wild ferns grew and still do
Many a days wanting to walk these 
roads,
talk to someone
Hands touch as I reach yesteryears 
dreams, 
looking to the sky
ah, but God provides such bounty, 
lone I walk once more
The honey suckles, fragrant;
one drop of nectar
Just a drop of sweetness for the 
town folk

You can feel God's presence on those old unpaved roads.

My dear Cindy, I remember those honey suckles from my youth. They grew just behind my grammar school in Georgia. Come spring time we would gather around them and take in their sweet smells. This is such a picturesque poem you have sketched. It plays against my memories of youth when visiting my parents' small town and evokes strong emotions within me. Thank you for sharing this vision with me. Now I will compose a SoupMail for you regarding our last exchange. Hugs;) Sam
