I'll Find You

 

I’ll Find You

 

Along a tiring old road,

in the heat of the afternoon,

as I passed the wheat field,

I came across a simple little rock,

 lying barren in my path…

 

With a swift kick of my foot,

the rock took off and flew,

seemed to float forever;

flooding the air with dust

that fogged my view

before landing right

back where I kicked it from…

 

As I gazed down

at my newfound friend,

I saw it split in half

and inside was a golden vein

that conceals a map

with a silver key

 

Carefully, each step

 followed the bright lines

that took me into bushes,

over a mountain

and across a babbling creak…

 

Before me was a small cottage

covered in ivy

surrounded by long yellow

and red stem roses,

white tiger lilies

accented by the ocean lining the sky…

 

Above the door embroider

in gold these words to treasure…

Welcome Home, please stay awhile

Brings me back to travelling up to my grandfather's cottage.. loved it up there.. the cottage was more of a fishing cottage but pure wilderness.. fish and boat all day long.. now that is the feeling your poem gave me!!!! =)
