Song For My Love, My Sweet

"A woodland path in the dappled sun, hushed and quiet "

At last you’ve come for me, my love, my sweet! You’ve come through tranquil woodland, with the breeze, along that path where once we used to meet and with the sunlight streaming through the trees! With passion in your eyes and wings for feet, you’ve come for me, and all my anguish flees. You are so near, I hear your wild heart beat. You’ve come for me, my own wild heart to seize. Alas! The woods have vanished with the gleam of my waking dawn. It was but a dream.
Written June 9, 2011 by Andrea Dietrich Inspired by the Contest "A Woodland Path" sponsored by Constance la France ~ A Rambling Poet ~

Andrea, I think of all the poems in Six Days of Sistine, this one comes closest to the overall gist of the film. Two lovers feeling the blush of an idyllic, romantic fling coming to realize it was all, figuratively speaking, a dream. Excellent love story, I liked lines 7-8 best ~ John

Congratulations on your win with this great poem, Andrea. Mom used to toss out old toys (and trolls) while I was at school. Starshine undoubtedly found his fate in the dumpster. Love, carolyn
