THIS NARROW ROAD (New Poem)

THIS NARROW ROAD

This narrow, narrow road

That can take us here and there

Sometimes without a care

We can go forwards

We can go backwards

But never side by side

There is no room for you on this narrow road

There are no passing lanes for you to stop and let me by

Oh you may sigh

This wondrous, beautiful narrow road

That bends and stretches for miles and miles

What more can we ask?

The overhanging branches

The shaft of the sun rays

Shimmering, glistening

Quivering in the summer breeze

The leaves lapping up the summer rays

When all too soon they’ll pass us by with a blink of an eye

This narrow, narrow road

Where lovers meet

Where friends greet

Where ramblers find their seat

This narrow lane and its embankment

Lush, lush green grass

With all its shades of green

The sun just finding the sheaves of grass

For all the native insects to hide from humans

They watch, they look from their minute places

This narrow, narrow road

Is full of hopes and wishes

Wishes that will hopefully take place at the end of the journey

Oh this wondrous narrow lane

That can take you on a destination that was not planned

A surprise that fills you with happiness

Oh this narrow, narrow road

That is filled with keeping the faith

A faith that cannot be touched

Yet is within us all if we just take that leap

This narrow, narrow road

Is full of new beginnings

A world full of possibilities

It may be rough and tough at times

A journey of being, getting stronger

Oh this wondrous

Narrow, narrow road

Take a journey on it and see where it takes you!

You’ll just never, never know till you try
