The Road That Leads to You...


In my dreams
I've walked this road
so many times before
Hope floats within me
as closer, near I draw

In a dress of Summer yellow
sunshine on my golden hair
The scent of meadows mellow
Wildflowers here and there

My cheeks are flushed
with Summer pink
my face is all aglow
How could I hide my feelings?
My happiness shows

A feeling that I'm coming home
I've waited for so long
To be here with you
the place where I belong

All for you my man of dreams
because I love you so
How could I hide my feelings?
I had to let you know

I've come so far to tell you
I wonder what you will say
When I walk that path
to your open door
Please let me stay...

    if
    you can
    get to my door,
    lovely d, you can stay
    here for as long as you like :)

    i'm off to visit family on the east coast tomorrow -- will be gone for a week -- and i'll be asking the same as in your poem(!)

    Thanks Foamie dear,
    I'm pleased that you liked it...

    I feel the emotion, then I see/feel images and how they will unfold... then the words come to me.

    Its a nice 'space' in my inner world. ♡

    Thanks Diane dear,

    I'm pleased that you could SEE it,
    when I am writing, the images and words are soft and float through my conscious thoughts...
    I try to paint with words. ♡

    Very nice poem and a lovely, lovely picture!!!
    Thanks for all your nice comments, Diane, they're very much appreciated!
    I also loved the old drawings below.
    Re Boney: of course the thing with the daog is tragic and there are always different ways of handling it... I know too little to judge, but I also know just how much harm some MDs, vets and animal protections organizations do...
    But re you and Boney: sorry to say this, but the way you sometimes... well what shall I say... get "arcoss to the other" (is that a diplomatic way of putting it?) anyway, one should think you're deeply in love and have been married for decades...!!!

    don't take everything so serious, you two, you're actually both quite adorable!
    love, sarah sofia

    Thank you dear Sarah Sofia , I'm glad you liked my poem and yes that picture of the road and the trees is lovely, I did an image search for 'country roads'
    and this one is actually in Indiana. :-)

    I love visitng your blogs, always something interesting and nice to be found there, what a lovely family you have.

    Yes Boney and I do have our differences, Lol we do seem like an old married couple sometimes but I think he is adorable, he is a good man, has many admirable qualities and I love him as a very dear friend. ♡

    Yes I have to learn to lighten up and not take things so seriously.

    Love, Dianne x

    Oh dearest Rott Weiler thanks so much and that is a real
    compliment coming from such a talented artist as yourself.
    I am going to get back into my drawing and painting as once I get started I just love it, got a few ideas just have to get over my 'fear of the canvas'.
    They are cute little kitties arent they!
    I've been thinking about you and Trout ever since I visited Chickory earlier, I do hope your girl will be OK. ♡

    Love to you too my sweet girl. x

    Surprised to hear that the rd was in india! I thought it was your own back yard...!

    yes, it's obvious that the two of you love each other, maybe you should do something about that? - No, no, not hit me, that was not what I meant...!

    thanks for the lovely comment on my blogs and my family!

    Oh and here's another entry, which is notr so nice, but which has something to do with all of us:

    Yes dear Sarah Sofia that is a lovely road and yes its in Indiana, but I dont know the exact location.
    I have a whole file on country road pictures, this one just felt right and America and Europe have such beautiful trees compared to here.

    I wont hit you for saying that my dear,:) Lol he doesn't love me, just friends, its a shame we live so far apart. ♡

    I always enjoy looking at your blogs and family is important. ♡

    Love Dianne. x

    Thank you Phossy dear,
    so pleased you liked my poem, I was happy with it too.

    Yes it is a lovely road, it looks so inviting and you want to see more. I do the same thing, I always have to explore and drive a little further to see where it takes me. ♡

    This CANNOT be the road that leads to me. WHERE are the cheap diners, packaged liquor stores and "massage" parlors? Also, WHERE is the litter and crying Indian? You may want to send a complaint to "Google Maps".

    Gosh Puggles my sweet, I didnt realise you lived in such a sleazy neighbourhood, I guess there are fire hydrants there also and you like to mark your territory with eau de Pug on your 'hydrant break' :)...
    I definitely have the wrong map...you had better give me your GPS map co-ordinates so that I can find you. ♡

    Thanks dear laughingwolf that is very sweet of you to say that... but life doesnt always work out how we would like...maybe in some perfect world at a different time and place things would be different. ♡

  28. LilyMay 8, 2009 at 6:38 PM

    I wouldn't be so sure that he doesn't love you...!

    yeah, our trees are pretty in a way, you're right, but your trees are definitely interesting and so is the landscape!

  29. dianneMay 8, 2009 at 7:31 PM

    Thanks again dear Sarah Sofia you are very sweet, if he does love me he certainly isnt telling me, I'm sure he just wants to be my friend. ♡

    Yes we do have some beautiful trees and landscapes but it is only in the cooler parts of the country that you see so much Autumn foliage and deciduous trees. ♡

    Thank you dearest Chickory what a sweet thing for you to say to me; you will always have my friendship and support and I am honoured to count you amongst the people I call friend.
    I told my daughter what had happened and she was saddened also, I keep my children up to date with all of the news of you and my blogger friends...my children love animals also and are gentle and caring.
    You have been in my thoughts so much today, I was hoping that Dovey had just wandered off and had returned, I thought how wonderful that would have been for you and V.
    I hope you were feeling a little less sad yesterday and had time to enjoy some happy moments with your Trout and the little chicks, they are your babies so I hope your Mothers Day wasnt all sad. ♡

    Much love from your friend Dianne. xo
