along the path...By jani johe webster--(In Memory-May 2013)--United States

along the path

if you are quiet
long enough
you can see
the buds open
and hear the pulse
of the earth

if you are quiet
long enough
you can see
your death
coming along the path

to meet you

Thoughts from Nila Webster--This poem was written by my mother over thirty years ago, and reflects a timelessness.  She captures a longing so many of us experience:  the longing for special signs that confirm an eternal connection.

  1. Beautiful poem, Nila. You mom was such a gifted writer. Her poetry finds its way into my heart each time you share one of her poems. Thank you so much for sharing with us. I know your mom, jani, is resting peacefully with our Creator. Continued blessings!
