    The Promise of a Heavy Road

    Trudging along the weary road to the bayou,
    Heavy steps make me go no further
    I cast a glimpse of a spirit seeming untrue
    As her dreams seemed struck by murder!

    Step after step, this road seems longer
    Limbs and knees grope for hunger
    Where will this road take me? I care not.
    What will this road bring me? Would I dare take a shot?

    Yet I go...slumber and its lack I forgot
    With no direction...not praying for perfection
    Step after step...I walk this road
    Seeming I've forgotten how this trek has unfold.

    Yet I walk...then I walk,
    My feet knows where to lead me
    A path I know from its birth
    How to get to you---whom I often yearn!

    So I walk -- step after step
    Though time buries me deep into the ground,
    Don't care where as long as hope is to be found
    Though this bright road appears dark to my sight
    The hope of you will turn a trudge to a flight!

    Great work you've woven full of anticipation to fly fast to get to happiness, not a trudge and/or slow walk. Nice path you've discovered, darkness will become light.

    For someone special...would not be a walk but a glide...soon, a flight!

    Great Poem!!! The ever winding road that has no beginning and no end - the well worn path of love. Just remember: "I start walking your way, you start walking mine, we meet in the middle..." Great write. Thanks for sharing.
