Tim B Poet Rhyme

The Road Taken

Reminders of looking back the other way
Impossible to recall 'just' the way we were
Took the road few travel, wiser for it today
And yesterday, took a road to travel away
From here, the angels tears and the silver fir,

Now the Pacific rim sat motionless, dull and silent
No longer quaking, but aware our departure
We found beauty there, but never relent
To find it here, as the molten magma is sent
To engulf in flames those who didn't capture

Magnificence of nature quite as concisely as he,
But trust me, went down that other road too
We find it full of bears, demons, the crocodile be
A terrifying thing, tearing and shredding what we
Dream of at night, under the stars, down to two

The two of us at last out here in the Shires
So much more mellow of a meadow, and a fir
Or two to rest under still, contemplate desires
That still beat in our hearts, perhaps us liars
Find peace, in the end, just me and her.

We took the road...

Carolyn Devonshire July 22, 2011 at 9:41 AM Tim, this poem is awesome! Not only do you create beautiful images so eloquently, but the journey through life that you describe is compelling. Love the line about the molten magma engulfing in flames those who failed to see the beauty in this journey. What a fabulous poem. Frost would be pleased, but I think you outwrote him here! Love, Carolyn Tim B July 24, 2011 at 1:07 PM You are too kind! Thank you very much though, it means a lot to hear someone think I out-wrote a master, thanks Carolyn! :)
