Tinker Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Photo by Bob Turn @ writing.com The Other SideBlue haze cocoons the pastel path I stroll. My cushioned footsteps almost float forward,drawn toward the portalthat beckons me to cross throughto the other side.Lavender airseeps into my lungssoothing,slowing my limbs.I hesitate at the gate. ~~Judi Van Gorder Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
