Serene Smoky Grey Sky
I am an new writer who enjoys expressing my thoughts through poetry, travel and well being tips
Driving along this often travelled two lane highway
With fresh alert eyes i ponder the day
Glancing out at wide open fields I feel drawn
As nightfall starts to approach with calm
An aura of contentment in the light
As it diminishes slowly, fading from sight
The radio songs meld with nature's vibe
And magnify the power and depth of the sky
Riding along getting close to home
I change course to turn down a village road
The 'Barber & Coffee Shop' sign catches my eye
Too late for coffee, but I still peak inside
To see such creative interesting decor
Viewed with a brief glance through the door
I stroll away for a closer view of the sunset scene
The path leads me to yet another sight like a dream
Down a quiet old street frozen in time
A row of 19th century homes, like jewels so fine
I stand still for a moment imagining times long gone by
Moved by the charming village view, and the deep smoky sky.

For some reason your beautiful poem took me back to my visit to Germany a few Christmases ago when my friends were driving me through the stunning countryside high in the Ore Mountains. This was so evocative of that time, really lovely thank you Nella.
