Shaded Avenues Poem by Valerie Dohren
Shaded Avenues
Down shaded avenues I wander
'Midst the falling Autumn leaves -
In solitude to dream and ponder
On all which the world now grieves.
Sweet melodies have softly faded
With the dying of the sun -
The paths of joy and love abraded,
All things lost and all things done.
With tranquil mind and silent yearning
For a time when peace shall be -
So armed with love and gracious learning,
Shall my heart and soul be free.
Thus on to distant realms I travel,
Searching for a future time
When every dream shall then unravel -
Splendid, wonderful, sublime.
Ah, be then calm my soul forever,
No more tossed, torn, nor defiled -
All life's vicissitudes to sever,
Seeking lands yet fair and mild.
Oh, for a land where sunshine lingers,
Oh, for a land of sweet repose
Where every care slips through my fingers -
Peacefully ling'ring at the close...
Ah, peacefully ling'ring at the close.
A beautiful and wonderful flowing poem. So relaxing to read. Peace and sweet dreams is what we all search for. A very very beautiful poem.

A graphic scene... you put your readers into it by the imaginative powers... the longing is impressive: Oh, for a land where sunshine lingers, Oh, for a land of sweet repose Where every care slips through my fingers - Peacefully ling’ring at the close... Ah, peacefully ling’ring at the close.
Such a beautiful poem Valerie, I have read this poem several times, it draws me in every time.
This shaded avenue is like a dream of opal coming to life. Thank you for taking me there
Such a pure peaceful write with flowing words. You are respected so beautifully, can just feel it in the comments.
You have described my vision of the afterlife, freedom from all that we have created upon ourselves in this mortal plane. Well written in verse and rhyme as always.....
