spirit of a stroll


hey my beautiful friend
let us hold each others hand
and walk softly whispering into each
others  ear the memories that for
each of us were so very near

let’s share the reveries
where verdant pastures roll
in back woods where we stroll
taking off our shoes to let
the grass and wheat fields tickle
between our toes

and when there’s no more to say
lets coddle in the silence that is
ours alone as we look up
at the faces of powder white
following us throughout the day
until they give to us the night
 
we are so well aware our worlds
could someday separate on paths
taking one to meet the universal
spirit while the other walks along
this pathway for a little longer stay

we also know that in the realm
of everything we shall one day meet
again and we may not have hands to hold
but together our common souls shall stroll

  2. wonderful stroll! It's true, one may leave early, leaving the other to walk alone. but there should be no regrets. This is quite an uplifting poem, as it should be. And I really like the last stanza, perfect to close the poem. :)

    Hope all is well, and that your spring is going well! :)

  6. I love the tone and the way the rhythm of the piece gives a stroll new meaning. A strong look at love and friendship, the kind that doesn't stop with the physical. Great writing.
