A Love Poem: Just Around the Bend

Thomas Griffin
"Just Around The Bend"

Sifting through the weight of thoughts and sliding through the sand

I could not help but recognize the grandeur of the land

Hills and greens and lovely things seemed to grasp my view

But then my eye with sharp reply caught your quiet cue

O'er the fields and hills I climbed in search of what I saw

My diligent cry to find the light of beautiful breaking dawn

And as the grass behind me passed I found paper and a pen

"You missed me then, you missed me again - I was just around the bend"

Oh my soul! How gruff the thought of losing what I wanted

The anguish of the failed attempt laughed and merely taunted

Will the light be pleased to blight my hopeful, wondering view?

Or will the love that's from above point me straight to you?

It's all I've ever wanted..

    This can apply to both searching for an earthly mate, and the love of God. I like the implications in the subtext as well. Nicely done!
