wandering about

I set out with nowhere in mind just allowing the path to unwind soon enough it started to bind leading to new paths that wend Over the hills and dales it passed finding new places to stop upcast letting in light that to seemed cast in shadows dark as night so vast My journey never seemed to end as onwards I went to now attend to the land which I could extend I now could bring it into a trend

Dear Shadow, this is a delight to read. The poem draws the reader into the scene onto the path that goes on to lead to other paths - other choices. It is well written, ‘ letting in light that seemed to cast’ ‘ in shadows dark as night so vast’. Love those lines! Really enjoyed this wander. Thank you for sharing. Hugs and blessings for a great weekend xx

Beautiful, and no matter where we wander, there are snakes hidden in the sand, we must see the greater beauty, such as this wonderful poem.

excellent rhyme scheme and cadence to your poem, dear Shadow. I liked the journey into the unknown to unwind -- finding new places. Seems like the journey never ends and you hinted at that in your words. Sincerely enjoyed the read. Have a splendid evening, hugs Sara
