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!

ReplyDeleteI like that you wrote this for Brian...he is truly worthy of this tribute.
ReplyDeleteThanks 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

ReplyDeleteBrian has been an inspiration and cheerleader for so many of us. I like the passing reference to Robert Frost, and the idea that each moment is a fluid destination! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a wonderful tribute, Myrna :D
ReplyDelete"each moment

I love this line! We are indeed, each on a journey of our own making.
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!
ReplyDeleteEvery journey has it's ups and downs, but you shouldn't be afraid to take that first step. :)
ReplyDeleteThis seems to fitting as a tribute to Brian. I think there are so many journeys for us to choose from and most of us are capable of taking them. It comes down to choosing one that's meaningful.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful dedication.

That really makes the difference. One makes adjustments all along the way to maintain the semblance of order!
