Hopefully

While walking down a gravel road,
I'd never been before,
grew prickly weeds,
of green and thorns,
this was, after all, their home.

Then suddenly... far, off to my left,
I saw a color so brilliantly bright,
I had to see it close,
despite the cumbersome hike.

The sun was hot, blistering,
causing me to sweat,
but little did I feel the stings,for I was getting closer,
to this flower
never met.

There it stood,
tall and proud,
blossom rain-bowed
white,
it's scent
was every flower
found,
within this wordly
light.

Molly Paton/2009

I've never really been an outdoorsy type person, but you make it sound so beautiful... I'm envious of wherever it is that you're talking about because it won't be anytime soon that I'll be able to experience this :) I love your poem though :)

This is so spiritually sound and poetically luscious. To hike with you would be divine...

Ah, to hike with me would surly be an adventurous,we may never come out of. Forgive me, I am sooo busy, no execute, though!

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
