"On a road in southern England.
There were many small roads like this, covered with trees.
It's like driving through a tunnel."

"Avenue Of Green"

{ For Micky }

As I followed these avenues of green
I felt so close to God
The magnificence and beauty of it all
So overwhelming… so Godly beautiful
The moment blessed with a magical touch
Green embrace of nature and love
Surrounded by tranquility
Before the grace of God
It became quiet within my stormy heart
A crystal teardrop fell from my eye
As I stood still and praised the Lord
For this beautiful moment in time
And for that moment I felt loved again
But as I whispered your name
And begged the Lord
To bring you here


Into my heart
Another crystal teardrop of longing
Slipped down my cheek
The moment choked me
With bitterness deep within
Standing in this avenue of green
Knowing I lost my dream once before
But thank the Lord
I now have you


Micky

Indeed there are many roads and walk ways like that, yup you were a stones throw from Kate.
It is a rather regal and moving poem

A passionate suffusion of natural wonder and healing romance all rolled into one glittering ball of quiet thankful ecstasy. Gorgeously sublime.

Awesome picture Tinka. Looks like the small lanes around Woodhall Spa or Horncastle. Now you'll need to tell us where this beautiful path is because it sure had your Muse along for the ride in a positive way.Love,Susan

WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL IN?????!!!!! This MUST be a stone's throw from me!! :)) Such bittersweetness here, Tinks, and the emotion is palpable and yet delicately expressed with a rising hope that maintains the lift and resolution. TOTALLY KNOCKED OUT by your beautiful Ebb And Flow write on my Sea Change... what a review!! :)) Far more inspirational than my original poem - bless you and thank you. Kate xx

Beautiful words, Tinka, there are roads here in South Louisiana where the oak trees on one side of the road reach for their brothers and sisters on the other side and sometimes touch, causing that tunnel effect. I never get tired of seeing that.
