(shadows Of) Moving Poem by Maya Took

Straight roads were taken
The sea was so near-
Green garden was open-
You had nothing to fear

Your friends were at parties
Close to eye and to heart
Friends from your youth
That now you feel somewhat appart

Count your blessings
My dear friend,
Though road is long-
Your heart, you will mend.

New people to meet
Old friends to greet
Anxiety, curiosity too!

If anything dear
precious one
I'm always there for you!
