Finding My Way

Finding My Way

Where is life guiding me?

I have stumbled,

like someone lost deep in the rainforest,

for many wasted decades now.

Falling from one clearing to the next

hoping it would lead me to the light,

only to have to begin

the arduous journey yet again.

And each time I strike out in hope

of finding a trail,

easy to traverse, I am lost.

And the clearing I am resting in now

appears larger than ever,

but it is just a clearing,

and my quest continues

in anticipation of finding you

and all my heart’s desire.

Good thing you're such an optimistic chap or I'd be worried, well said John.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Ha you could have offered me a machete!

[Frieda P]

I left that in my other handbag ;)

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Well I could have guessed!

wow... the emotion that you were able to evoke here with your stunning imagery and easy flow was powerful... I feel the NEED to find her, to search the world over, never giving up hope, willing to do anything to get there.... the use of language in this one is exquisite.. I am left here with my heart racing in that fight or flight feel--ready to begin that journey in search of my "heart's desire"... another excellent piece...

It was my absolute pleasure... don't tell me that... I keep the hopeless romantic voice bound and gagged in my head.. jeez.. bad enough she gets loose sometimes...

[John Alexander McFadyen]

And when she does.........................................it's explosive and sensual!

Sometimes we have to lose our way to find it...ramble in the darkness, so to speak, light and hope are only ever a flicker away :) x

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Yes but when we keep losing it?.............optimism is my middle name. Thanks Poppy.

[Ruth]

Boy this sounds like the story of my life, like how this piece comes together. I guess we all go through this phase in life at one point. reaching out for the truth is the answer.
Excellent write.
