And There You Are

(Image Source: http://wallpaperswa.com)


Somewhere down the line
I retrace my path
And there you are.

Moments of tears
Smiles and fears
Somewhere down the line.

Running behind time
My words fail to rhyme
I retrace my path.

Love and trust
Brown eyes of thirst
And there you are.


PSThis is a poem in the cascade form, where each line of the first stanza is used in sequence as the ending line of succeeding stanzas, line one ending the second, line two the third, etc.

  6. You really got into the essentials of the form here--I like it best in short phrases such as you've used, as it makes the repeating lines all that much more effective--and some lovely lines they are--I especially like the final stanza. Thanks.
