The Gate

Traveling along a country path
Catching summer birds mid bath
Amongst blowing daffodils
Nestled in smooth flowing hills
A flash of white catches day’s sun
Attracting those whose work is done
Upon a meadow painted green
Sits a gate looking quite serene
Gently swinging in soft breeze
Under shadow of pine trees
Its hinges squeak a somber tune
In melody with bugs of June
Looking tired and weather worn
From its post a little torn
Crooked as a lopsided smile
Passing years have been its trial
Whispering wings make paint chips drop
A stained glass butterfly lands atop
Stays a second then flutters by
Adds her beauty to summer sky
Looking at ease in God’s garden
Offering escape or pardon
Minds a buzz with swirling doubt
Is this gate leading in or out?

| I was really living in a forrest for a couple of seconds there and all my worries were gone.It's not the happiest poem i ever read but it sure isn't sad.And all gates lead somewhere not either "in or out".Thanx for the brief escape from my sorrowful thoughts. |
