Jasmine-Scented Pathways
As we leisurely walk, I wonder how
My wishes--have all come true!
Here I am, holding hands with you
Along jasmine-scented pathways—
Leading to the nearby park
I used to only dream about these days
When you and I will be together
Nothing else matters, but us—
And the beauty of nature around us:
The birds singing a wonderful sound
Praising the daylight on the top
Of the tall sycamore trees—with their leaves
Casting shadows, towering tall above us
Gently kissed by the early morning frost.
We like to walk early, unlike Robert who enjoys a late walk
Neighbors walk their dogs on leashes while others jog,
As they say hello every time they pass us by
Along the same jasmine-scented pathways—
What a peaceful and pleasant sight it is
Every weekend mornings, rain or shine
In our neck of the woods—our own Eden!
Everybody is sharing the same path
Although, some are going opposite ways
I hate to think that one of these days,
We will also be going opposite ways—
Just because we forgot how Fate
Has brought us back together,
And vowed to love each other forever…
(Inspired by the poem, A Late Walk - by Robert Frost)

You know too Engr...something else I Love about Your Writes...You use many of YOUR pictures through time---I Love that...makes much of the emotion carry through double-time--that's a wonderful bonus when they show up within Your Writes-It's tangible

A sweet write and full of words to fire the imagination (Same path different direction) The significance of the interwoven metaphor giving this work a deeper meaning.
