The Green Bridge

You know

we go

with you.
Some days

when the grass is wet
our way

is slow

to follow
as you walk ahead,
but all is known
though

nothing is said,
a candle lights above our head.

A painting by Ethel Spowers (1890-1947)
The Green Bridge 1926

 

Thank you for your comment

I am grateful to know
the serenity flows to you.

This card I found in a gallery.

The geese and the shepherd lady

called me over,
then I wondered why

there is all grass but no blue sky.

The edge is right upon her head
and then I wondered

until she said,
'I am walking with the geese
they are content and so am I
we all know there is a sky.
Just see the scene and feel serene.'

And I do.

May you do too.
The photo, is of a card and a painting.
It is a beautiful offering

to those who are shepherds in their day,
simply leading the way.

The little poem was posted April 14, 2019,

and called The Bridge.
I wrote it spontaneously,
whilst I was looking closely at the card.

This is a re-post of one of my little treasures.

With love Bee xo
