I found the paths leading down to the waters edge just like the brochure described. <br />The rushing sound was penetrating as it ran over rocks leading downward into the stream. <br /> <br />I stepped into the stream barefooted feeling the tickling between my toes. <br />Cool icy waters caressing my inner thighs I sighed breathlessly. <br /> <br />The paths of the waters cut winding roads all through the mountains gorge. <br />I explored them all looking for the perfect “secret place” to call my own. <br /> <br />One particular path was protected with purple irises and yellow lilies keeping <br />A lookout for all who wandered into the view. <br /> <br />Another path led into a snake like pattern with large boulders and broken rocks, <br />Smothering the entrance of crushing ripples as the waters moved fiercely forward. <br /> <br />Finally, I found it! The most beautiful site to behold! <br />I stood in awe as my eyes <br />Scanned over all the beauty and wonder there. <br /> <br />I could scarcely take it in! <br />A landscaped canvas! <br /> <br />Golden pebbles covered the streams floor glistening with the beams of sunlight. <br />Two large boulders side by side faced the opening while waters ran between them, <br />Splashing diamonds across the surface. <br /> <br />A “Garden Of Eden” encased the mouth of the winding road. <br />Magnificently displayed like the brush of the “Leonardo da Vinci” <br />“Madonna of the rocks! ” <br /> <br />Engraved into the belly of the waters ravine appeared two lovers sculptured by <br />Ravenous cutting of rampart hands. <br /> <br />The perfect “secret place” indeed! <br /> <br />I will forever journey these winding roads.<br /><br />Marsha Cleveland<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/winding-roads/
