YOUR UNIQUE HIKE

source


I wish you well
As you select
The road untraveled
By anyone else 
But you
Taking giant steps 
Deeply into mystery's darkness
Tripping on rocks of unknowing
Smiling as you rise from falls
Accepting journey's 
Intricate, unpredictable adventures 
Each moment
A fluid, moving destination



I dedicate this to Brian, to whom I am grateful for encouraging me to write poetry.  
Happy Anniversary to Dverse Poets!

  6. Ah.. the canopied
    road that shows a future..
    a place of hope of roads
    untold.. but sure.. a place
    of DArk that

  13. Thanks Myrna. I'm glad someone mentioned Brian. I wish he'd get to writing again soon. Still, he was right. I think it's better to take breaks from time to time. Your poem was a great dedication to him, thanks

  19. Lovely! Each one of us travels a different path, but those intersections where we meet, or those long or brief moments when our paths converge make the journeys so worthwhile!
