Lena Townsend Poet Free verse

The Narrow Road

Drifting along the road
A path virtually unknown
Finding life and love
Seeing past agony fade
Calling out for me to travel onward
Begging me to change
Life and love destroyed 
Misting lonely rain
Narrow is the road
Long is the loneliness and pain
Searching for the answers 
Along this guided way
Never ending, just beginning
A lonely narrow road

Michael Degenhardt June 30, 2008 at 7:14 AM So many of us take those same roads but seldom see others on it for we are more concerned with ourselves. The road does widen, I assure you of that and loneliness becomes but a state of mind. You expressed yourself clearly and with fantastic flow. Michael
