Notes About The Poem

The Winding Road


The Winding Road

She walked a winding road, encompassed by dark trees,
   at first, with apathy and deep thoughts far away;
but soon stopped short with consternation as the breeze
   whispered unearthliness in such unnatural sway.
Two paths appeared...her predilection was to veer,
   with reverence, towards the right, which made it clear...
God's grace spared condemnation of her life that day.

A very original and intriguing use of the prescribed vocabulary,Sandra leaving the reader wondering what might have been in store for her had she ventured onto the other path.
