A Longing Was In The Branches Poem by Patti Masterman

A Longing Was In The Branches

Rating: 5.0


a longing was in the branches
of the departed path
touched with glimpses of flowers,

cherished steps dividing the day.
what ghost once had eyes
what hand caught hold of love-
holding it like a rare bird dying,
hastening to its end.

nobody notices now
what lies at the foot of the trail-
how nothing is there
instead of fullness.
