Days Come Virginia Salter days come days go and we walk or run through their hours how we spend their moments how we rack up our memories seems to be settled by tiny choices turning right turning left spinning on our heels we sometimes watch days go yet sometimes don’t they rather watch us for doesn’t it seem that we find moments when we are standing in a spot and we have no recollection of getting there yet there we be no matter how and we turn and look back trying to find the steps we took attempting to find the why of our destination as if our destination has found us instead of the other way around as if the map is made after the roads are driven and the river’s spanned after the bridge is crossed this crossing from birth to death filled with twists and turns not one straight road in the lot of them pulsing motions walk through this space-time continuum called life then at the end a new beginning a new path a new road might it have a straighter way? could it be? © December 27, 2000 |

Thanks, Marge! I think that line stood out in my mind, too. Heh-heh, that's way at the beginning. Guess this could have been a lot shorter;o}, ya think? |

NO NO NO........not shorter at all. I loved the flow all the way to the end. I like the thought of driving the roads before the map is made. Sort of reaching out and blazing new trails always searching for something but not really knowing exactly what. Way cool poem Virginia. A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |

then at the end a new beginning a new path a new road might it have a straighter way? could it be?
