Walk With Me


 


 


Walk beside me this day,


While we still have this chance.


Hold me close; love me easy I pray,


That we may enjoy our life's dance.


For tomorrow is a dream which may never come


And today may be all that we…. Shall ever get.


For our time is that of surrealist dancers


 Waltzing on, oh waltzing on to the tune of the setting sun.


So, walk with me if you will,


stand very close by my side


And drink heartily of my love, …drink… oh drink your fill.


For we have played of life and had of its very best,


We have reached for and held the very stars of the night sky in our hands.


We have scaled the rugged mountains of many regret


and have climbed against the terrain of adversity


 alas though, we have almost reached the summits crest.


So walk beside me this day, walk with me if you will,


For the band has almost stopped playing


And this spring…this spring for some reason


 has given over to an autumns chill.


 


WALK WITH ME I PRAY.

I would tend to think you have many more miles to walk before you are done in this life, or at least I damn well hope so...Ed

Allen, your journey has given you a depth few poets ever reach and a height few ordinary souls ever reach. I felt the chill ~ and the precious gratitude for each and every moment. Reading this makes me grateful all over again that you have given us here at AD the privilege of walking with you, in spirit and truth. Your honest pen has vast power indeed. Blessings to you, Dawn

J Allen,
No matter how hard the climb may be, as long as we have a hand to hold to, and a heart to share, we will make it to the top!
Beautiful poetry.

Lisa
