walking

I wish you would take my hand

and walk away with me.

Conversations may float

from autumn branches

or we may find

that silence is sweeter.

There are wildflowers somewhere

-waiting-

to wave in the wind.

There is a rock

high on the hill

where distant drums

still pray.

I want to take you there.

And I'm ready to travel Miss Emily. ;o) I want to hear the prayer drums and the sighing wind chanting softly across the hills... we can watch the stately mockingbird in pen-striped gray tuxedo officiate the dawn. His pulpit will be a mulberry tree and his song will lead our choir. Joyous!

[Ken Simm.]

You have taken me there.... so often.

. oh ... how very beautiful and enchanting and magical ...
. can't wait to see that rock ...
. a lovely lyric, emily ...

There are some beautiful sounds tying this piece together, simply as it is: you pair words wonderfully, in a fashion that conjures rather than simply evokes. This a little treasure of a kernel, I'm intrigued to see its final shape if you decide to change it.

that silence is sweeter the best types of walks-nice write

[NoneOfYourBusiness akaK..]

meditative love and light~

Why change? Oftentimes we wish we could take a loved one who needs calming on such a walk as you describe. If only they could see what you can see - and hear in that inner voice of yours.
Great sense of feeling - again.

where distant drums still pray.

... that is a line to say softly, again and again.
and then to beat loudly against the wind.

i can feel the day here... the wind in the meadow grass, the sun through the trees... the rock radiant in the blue field of sky...
beautiful.

let's go !

some gorgeous images running through this poem, that sense of sharing the experience, of being with someone. Stunning!
