 Artist: Charlie Waite Wandering ~ Linda L. Dowd ~ In wild woods I’m wandering, And know not where I go. I’m lost in the underbrush, With my head hanging low. I’m trekking thru’ the hinterlands, Where all is stripped down bare. Cold winds blow unimpeded, As I’m heading to no where. I’m crawling on my hands and knees, In search of promised land. But all I find is charcoal bricks, ~ Not gold at rainbow’s end. I trudge up rugged roadways, To find there’s nothing there. ~ Just lots of empty promises, And sadness everywhere. ~*~ But as the dawn is breaking, I see before my eyes, The glorious sun shining On the road to paradise. “Happiness is a state of mind. Think happy! ~ Be happy!” ~ Linda L. Dowd |

It seems when we are at our lowest point we see the way if we just raise our heads. Thank you for sharing this lovely poem -- you are a beautiful writer and person. A |

For me, this ‘write’ is a fine expression of the “every-person’s” quest for that ‘morning star’! [in all our lives of far too many wild-wooded thorns and ‘charcoal bricks’!]...May all the 'different paths' we travel.... ultimately lead to where we stand...and may that only be for each and all of us....on the leadin' edge of that sun-drenched road in the outskirts of such a 'paradise'! |

Earth Angel The sense of paradise is the lubricant of the mind. Without it we would seize up.  |

Wandering... seems like I spend half of my life doing that, always looking for something else. I can really relate to your poem, and I especially like the last stanza because it so well expresses there is light around the corner, so to speak. A beautiful write, as I knew it would be! hugs cathy |

Dear Ethel Mae You need not fear. I am somewhat of an Unsinkable Molly Brown. I have the ability to bounce back at whatever is thrown at me in life. Yes, there is the bitter schtuff ~ but there is also an abundance of sweet nectar! I've been thinking of you. Linda Lou |
