If

I have never taken part in a blog challenge before, and never thought that I would, but A Frank Angle sent me a very polite, personal invitation and I thought this poem was appropriate.ย Thanks for the invite Frank.

 

If

If we could open ourselves for exploration,

to read and decipher like a map,

a foreign country to discover.

Then you might place your feet on fresh soil

and I might walk new pathways.

For a while, travel a road together,

reach a place we recognize.

  1. Cheers to your effort! …. and many thanks for participating!

    I like it!!! I find two things in this poem. First, a challenge to all to travel. To see the world. … but then the twist (well, at least to me) where it shifted from WE to I – the impact of unexpectedly touching someone’s life that one wouldn’t have met without the travel.

    1. The wonderful thing about writing, and poetry in particular, is the fact that each person who reads your work finds their own meaning in it. I’m glad you enjoyed it. ๐Ÿ™‚
