Where Pathways End I, who was a child of the east Once chanced to stand upon the western shore And there were only ocean, waves and sky To set my eyes upon, and nothing more It was as though the earth came to an end Where footpaths disappeared in tide washed sand I’d traveled to the limits of my time And to the outer fringes of the land But no, say you, this lovely sun soaked beach Is threshold to horizons of the west And sunset skies are like a dawning hour From which you will embark upon your quest It seems a bit iniquitous a sin That my pathways should end where yours begin Elizabeth Santos |

But no, say you, this lovely sun soaked beach Is threshold to horizons of the west And sunset skies are like a dawning hour From which you will embark upon your quest it is so good to see you posting here, and such a beautiful write...Liz, words penned that only a mother could know and feel....which is to me, the very gift of being woman.... Hugs and thank you for such a lovely read. |
