Taking Me Past
Taking Me Past
he took me past where the pavement ends
where the road turned to gravel
showed me where the house had stood
in 1933
the barn
the woodshed
the outhouse
long gone
nothing but forest now
he drove us out
by a different way
than we went in
to where gravel
turned to pavement
again

Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.

Re: Taking Me Past
Ain't it the truth - when young knowledge tempted me same as it did Adam & Eve - I too feasted on that apple - these days all I want is to be free of the world's knowledge, some day, maybe tomorrow, that's the way it shall be - I won't be looking back and I won't miss none of itloop of knowledge
Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.
Re: Taking Me Past
And that's the truth too - thank God it isall so temporary

Re: Taking Me Past
walking along these old dirt roads, lined with crumbling fieldstone walls and 2nd growth forest, I sometimes find myself wondering what the view was like 100 years ago.....

Re: Taking Me Past
Terrific image and short-short story. Makes the reader wonder who "he" is, why he took you there, who "us" is, and what happened afterward. I like it!
