The Meadow

Have you found the ancient path
hidden from the untrained eye
leading to unspoiled meadow
where nature lives peacefully
while water and air are pure

Can your soul find the meadow
in a place lit by starlight
the air scented with flowers
where technology can’t live
and the heart must be love filled

My soul flies into the night
skipping through the milky way
sharing secrets with the moon
gliding down mystical path
and wait for him to follow

Hah! Yeah boy, I can just see your winging it through the Milky Way. You outdid yourself with this creative poem, Karen.

Lovely poem, Karen, but don't wait because that waiting can spoil your journey.

To paraphase something I'd heard or read, tell him...'if He's waiting for You, he's the one trailing behind...', and you just keep on walking.

enjoyed your words, my friend...

What a marvelous poem about the universe and its spectacular views.
