A Walk In Time Poem by Barry Middleton
A Walk In Time
Beyond the gate the garden patch
gives up its sweet perfume.
The woods reveal a ghost of white,
for dogwoods are in bloom.
On new mown hay I make my way
beneath a lonely oak,
where copse and brier conceal desire,
that I cannot revoke.
Two lovers passed into these woods
so many years ago.
But now alone I find the path
where honeysuckles grow.
Then deep within the wooded vault,
where angels guard the glen,
I still recall the chill of fall,
and grieve what might have been.
Beautiful. A lovely walk in time...very vivid n evocative. The reader feels like taking a walk with you. The nostalgic tone of the poem puts the reader in the same mood. Very powerfully written.10
