Paths & Shadows

It
   starts
      sometimes
           with but a
                step or two,
                    here or there,
                and then I
           come back
      around me
  to find the
center
  again,
        here, when
            time leans out
                  and I am but
                      a circle again;
                  my rut begins
            to seem deeper
        If I question the
    trace of me,
a footstep,
    if even seen
        in the dirt of
            today, let be
                   tomorrow’s
                       findings by
                   anyone else
            who might be
        looking for
     the things
one would
     search for
         here, now, and
             somehow the
                 path seems to
                       wind around,
                 back to myself
             again to here
          and now
      to today
and you.

Lovely wander in the garden of your thoughts. Inspirational and loving write.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

A very creative poem, word/art, indeed....

Crooked path or straight, all lines curve and return, back to the same place..
Well done, Karilea...love the ending...

It touches one, and had to me, many different meanings.  Some of them that come to mind related to human emotions, others to human actions, and deeds.  Nice presentation Karilea.

Very nice -- good presentation.  I like the concept.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
