I do not know what brought me here
Away from where I’ve hardly ever been and now
Am never likely to go again.
Faces are lost, and places passed
At which I could have stopped,
And stopping, been glad enough.
Some faces left a mark,
And I on them might have wrought
Some kind of charm or spell
To make their futures work,
But it’s hard to guess
How one person on another
Works an influence.
We pass, and lit briefly by one another’s light
Hope the way we go is right.
Hope the way we go is right We all conduct our lives with good faith that our way will be right. Beautiful poem with nice expression. Thank you.
a poem of believing in someone then hoping they are right? ..........well written.
Nice poem on how we leave an impression on others when we meet them for a brief period. Nicely done. Congrats.
We pass so many may our light no matter how brief pass a positive glow on others
Be noted that Brian Patten Patten's style is generally lyrical and his subjects are primarily love and relationships. Mesmerizing.
