Most of the time, I have written sonnets and other recognizable poetic formats. Here’s one that is different in the fact that it was written more simply, but with great emotion.

Walk With Me

Walk with me in the meadow of my mind
And take your shelter in my loving arms:
You have shown me that life is good and kind
By giving gently of your peaceful charms.

So many times I’ve found myself quite lost
Wandering neglected in a dense fog:
Like a sailor upon the tempest tossed
I’ve slipped beneath the waves, a sunken log.

But you reached down to save my sinking soul
And brought me back into the bright sun’s light:
Now I have but one significant goal
To keep you within my spirit’s true sight.

Never leave my side for another’s love,
I couldn’t bear to lose a heart like yours:
For, sure as I am of Someone above,
None else holds the key to my ailment’s cures.

My darling, my once-in-a-lifetime find,
Come with me to my country’s fields and farms:
Walk with me in the meadow of my mind
And take your shelter in my loving arms.
