Wistful Wayfarer

A peaceful path some may call a rough road, In succulent scents--they feel a forebode. Me--I'm only a drowsy dreamer pitching pebbles at all troubling times. Searching skies for lovely rainbows, climbing clouds above mountaintops. A wistful wayfarer finding my way December 15, 2021 rewritten as free verse July 12, 2022

Clouds are not very substantial to climb on, Paula :) Thanks for your comments and I hope you have a wonderful New Year!

Thank you so much, Mike! I first wrote about climbing clouds in a piece about a friend's husband who died. I like it, too :)

Thank you, Milton! To me, it was a difficult contest because of the various syllable restrictions. A challenge :)
