Kindly click on the link below, then minimize it, if you wish to listen to classical music while you read the poem. play Fantasi Wolfgang Mozart  ~*~A Path With No End~*~ © Mysteria January 2001 I gazed at the painting in her hall, one of many hanging upon the wall. In sudden repose it held me there, as if by magic all I could do was stare. A simple scene hung on a piece of string, of a blossoming forest depicted in spring. It had a sense of absolute tranquility. fixating me in its touch of pure serenity. Staring at this picture it would seem a scene from a simple dreamer's dream. A cottage jutting out from behind a bend on a path that seemed to have no end. I found myself walking on the forest floor and felt my hand rap upon the door. A friendly voice called out from within, 'Won’t you enter dear, please come in.” Once more I am staring at a wall At a picture that hangs in her hall. What is this house just beyond the bend? Who walks this path that has no end? A scenic picture hanging upon the wall, colorful forest depicted in the fall. It had a sense of absolute tranquility. Again, it held me in its touch of serenity. I envy the artist who can paint a dream to make others see what they have seen. There are but two things I have to know Where’s this dream and how far must I go? Art by Jim Warren ~ Peaceful Path http://www.jimwarren.com/ Music: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ~ Fantasie in Dminor for Piano (K.397, 1782) http://www.midiworld.com/cmc/mozart.html ~* CARPE' DIEM *~ [This message has been edited by Mysteria (01-26-2002 10:20 AM).] |

The "trailings" of this is absolutely beautiful, and you bring that to the forefront, which allows the reader to look beyond the path, and see the trailings in the winding limbs, the waterfall, the horizon... one of your best... One small change: quote: change line 4 to "could"... |

I admire the thought you put into this poem, dear lady. I, too, have stared at painting and woven a story around the setting or looked for insights into the painter's mind....an excellent subject for a poem |

Sometimes life is like a photo or a piece of art, we are drawn into it, can't get out, and when we do another dream is always there waiting! Thanks for your wonderful comments. <font face="monotype corsiva">~* Carpe' Diem *~ |
