Shadow Across the Sky.

Goldfinch60



I walk the path of life

Not knowing where I go,

Only knowing where I’ve been.

I know there is a way before me

But that course is so elusive,

As elusive as a shadow,

A shadow across the sky.

    A fine write Gold. We may like new paths naturally - not having walked there before. Yet keep to a set route if not travelled there before, or may over-shoot and end up anywhere without a map. Hope that won't be my experience today. lol. Not that ALL of this is I say here is a spiritual metaphor.

      And when the future dawns for you the shadow will be lifted. It IS out there ahead and i think you're going to enjoy it.

        Thanks Uncle Andy : Angela here 11:30 pm Wednesday ! Im still laughing at the VIDEO : WICKED is the only word I can find to describe the British sense of Humour. The Life of CHRIST (Brian) and the Promenade Concerts are two of the most Sacred of Things : Put them together HILARITY ! Ive watched it again and laughed even louder ! Your POEM is a great contrast "Shadow across the SKY" : Future Uncertain : made me so so sad ! BRIAN is feeling lonely today : see His Poem : SOLITARY and I miss him equally. Why does life always have to be DARK CLOUDS & FEW SILVER LININGS. I can empathisie because BRIAN is just a fleeting figure on a SKYPE SCREEN ! But we must always "Look on the Bright Side of Life !"
        Blessings & Joy to You & Joyce
        Love in the Spirit : ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

          Life is a burden of being born, and once born we have to carry the load.
          That's it, that's life.

            Thank you Angela, reflection can be inspiring, all will be well though.
            The song is another reflection of the way I am, I always (well nearly always) look on the bright side of life.
            Easter will soon be here and you and Brian will be with each other.

              Most of us are on the same journey, looking ---

                We must always look forward in our lives.

                Life is a series of changes thrown at us. We have no control over them, except to deal with them as they happen. Some are lovely and bright, others dark and mysterious.We do the best we can, but do not get to choose pathways. Just keep walking the path you are on until the next one comes. Enjoyed your little poem about life. It made me think. Good one GF60. - Phil A.

                • Goldfinch60

                  Yes Phil, those pathways are always ahead of us and in our lives they have changed direction many times but we are still here enjoying life.
