Stone or Concrete
Cobble or Smooth
These are the questions I think
If you want to know about a Street
Streets lead to places
And places lead to more places
And again and again
Until we Meet again
I Rode a different street than yours
And you Walked a different street than mine
And it will start again and again
Until we Meet again
Old man Whitaker waits for his harvest
He yells and calls for that carriage to arrive
But another finds him in earnest
After he drinks the tainted wine
The ride is bumpy
So it is cobblestone after all
But My ride is smooth
A paved path perhaps?
This street stretches forever it seems
But the Journey to it is but a step away
I look outside my carriage
I see not one Soul on this street
House upon House follows down this way
No lights in their Windows nor Mine
Their roofs are all but invisible
And their lawns immaculate to the Vine
There is a chill in the air
And I am in but a summer dress
It was July the last time I checked
But I could still be wrong yet
You took this Path not a few days ago
I merely followed in curiosity
If it was more, I cannot recall
I guess until we Meet again
Your Journey was not long as was mine but definitely rockier
We'll talk about it again
Until we meet again
Yes, I think its a cobblestone sidewalk and a paved street.
What a luxury to receive the old man's same blessing!

Description:
Figure the title out yourselves. I'm saying this on my journal as well, but I'm going to write a fiction story based on this dream I had a few years ago. I'm looking forward to starting it.
I somewhat based this on a Emily Dickenson poem but with a different insight and outlook. - Date: 01/02/2009

- No, not life. It's kind of a romantic-age poem, actually. Keep guessing.

- Well, you did a fine job. That poem was very good, and symbolized a deep meaning...of life? I dunno what it was.
