Rural Road

I meander a solitary path,
Adorned richly by nature
In uncultivated meadow grasses,
And garnished ornately…
With flowers of the wild.

I slip silently between rows
Of crunched cottages,
The main roadway
Of a small village,
Where the only thing
…going anywhere
Is wandering, winding me.

I go from here to there
Bypassing the modern world,
With all its drama and disturbances.
Instead I am settled in the solace
Of a more considerate yesterday.
Where my paving has been trampled only
By bare feet, sandals and boots,
And the wooden wheels of rickety wagons.

I meander a solitary path,
But not one of loneliness,
For I am adorned richly by nature
In uncultivated meadow grasses,
And garnished ornately…
With flowers of the wild.

Oh how very pretty. Good job Spirit. So that is where you are and what you are doing when you stay too long from our pages. Love, Joyce

Spirit: A lovely poem and I certainly can relate to what you say. I am a country dweller and only go to town when I must!

I really liked the line "for I'm adorned richly by nature", that's a great sentiment.
