Shaded winding ways an streams <br />Humming brook brims an beams <br /> <br />Filtered light in misty shafts <br />Nudging floating leafy rafts <br /> <br />Rolling hills of beauteous view, <br />Grazing lands and yes mildew. <br /> <br />The eaten log fallen for years, <br />The beaten path of passing bears. <br /> <br />Bedded leaves and peeping flowers. <br />Forget-me-nots like blinking stars. <br /> <br />Worn and trodden winding paths <br />Stirring views of grassy swaths <br /> <br />Turned aside through lazy bends <br />Tranquil hush of an angler ends <br /> <br />Rustle of leaves and distant calls <br />a little saunter by the water falls <br /> <br />She so fresh; dimpled an cute, <br />full of life in her well worn suit. <br /> <br />chitter and chatter we paced along <br />Then she froze, we heard the gong <br /> <br />A pause! …then a zip an thud. <br />An arrow lands with a towed bud <br /> <br />Inched we forward to the moat, <br />hidden in the reeds, there a boat. <br /> <br />With a beam she said I have to go <br />As she slowly began to row <br /> <br />Waved we sad an slow good byes <br />Floated as she, away on my sighs <br /> <br />Dark in the shadows a hooded form <br />Click! I logged off, to stall the storm. <br /> <br />(Islamabad) <br />(April 27,2009)<br /><br />saadat tahir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-walk-with-maid-merriam-merry-with-the-merry-band/
