I want to walk the wooded path,
And stroll the country lane
Were sunsets fall like amethyst
And stardust falls like rain
I want to see again the fireflies
That lights up on honeysuckle vines
And watch a hawk spread its wings
Among the tallest pines~
I must see again the hummingbirds
Where the foxgloves grow wild
And run carefree through the clover
Like i did as a child~
I want to stand on top of the mountain
When it is all covered with snow
And linger until the purple haze
Spreads twilight far below~
I must do these things lest I forget
How precious life can be
Come walk with me my friend
And we will look as far as the eye can see~

This was stunning...I can actually feel like I'm standing there, looking at everything you've described in this poem. There is a simple feeling to this, but it is soothing and peaceful. You have painted these miraculous pictures in my mind.
Just one thing to point out, though...in the third line of the first stanza, "were sunsets fall like amethyst"...I believe the "were" should be "where"...but that was the only typo I could find in this.
Wonderful job

oh my
im stunned
this is like a breath of fresh air
it reminds me of the carriage trails in Acadia and so i feel as though i were there
i miss it and youve reminded me without hurting and that is a wondrous thing
thanx for the inadvertant calm in the storm of high school, eh -
I looked through your eyes reading this poem! Thank you, the view is lovely. It is also incredibly melodic and appealing at a sound level. Hugs, Christie

We must never get too caught up in the bustle of the city that we forget the undieing beauty of nature.
The poem is full of imagery and is very expressive
The true poet derives their most potent inspiration from nature

As usual your words have taken me to a place where I escaped from all of my troubles, if only for a few moments during the read. I was swept away in your magical imagery.
Were sunsets fall like amethyst
And stardust falls like rain... you see the world in a very special way. Thank you for sharing it with us. -
Great poem!!! It sets the imagination free to be in all the places you wish to be, its great, just a real dreamy setting, wishing to be back where you once were, and yet you leave it open enough for people to interpret it in many ways. Loved it! Keep it up!
