The Vines Of Time

Now you’re gone from me
                  and the trek begins.
Minutes, minutes...
                  what are they?
Vines in the endless forest of time...
         I must cut them through,
     squeeze past,
           trudge around the mass
in mindless detours
                              until
I find you somewhere,
     somewhere in the middle
     of this land of vines.
They grow and grow,
                shifting
    changing....
                              still
I’ll find a way;
     my spirit points to you,
draws a finer line
            than any compass ever
                            dreamed.
We’ll be together
           somewhere within
      this endlessness
of green and rain
                 and separation.
       I feel the place,
     feel it like
a living presence
                            there,
beyond these vines of time.

vines can be like that...
whether growing toward the sun
or water...

Well done!

Vines are like that...wayword...not caring where they go, just going their own special way towards something, and causing a tangle of jungle while doing it. Not easy to find your way, unless you have purpose...which you obviously do. Loved this poem!!

Wonderful write! *S* Through your words, I feel the clinging tendrils impeding progress, causing sweat and stumble and even some backtracking... towards a destination worth any and all efforts expended. *S*

I liked that beginning part...great write, although it's sad.
