Her Steps are Gentle on the Earth *

by vexations

Softness surrounds her eyes

accentuating a look of wisdom.

Contentment tempers her voice.

A voice that flows to greet one 


like a mellow brook 


sparkling in the sunrise.

Her words traced to paper

speak of a true heart

that pumps compassion.

Her poetic refrains spill forth

like lava flowing on a rock.

Yet her steps are gentle on the earth

as though each journey is

a walking meditation.

Observing is an obsession

that ignites each draft she writes.

What if she changed? What if

she lived with the boldness

of her writing and the zest of her poems,

would her words become tempered

and her rhymes fall hollow on the page?

* the poem goes with the photo Girl by Brook, in my gallery.

Truly beautiful, my friend - I loved reading every line and felt I could see a vision of her, as well. Thank you for posting this, serene and very enjoyable poem. Cheers, Mary Ann

    I am so glad you like it. I hope to get back to writing a bit as I have not been very creative of late. I saw this young girl sitting by the stream, took the photo and this work came to me.

      lol, I read it as Disrobe. Took all of my clothes off and then realized it didn’t make any sense. Nonetheless it was fun. Cheers
