going nowhere

Missing image

gentle as a lamb she leaves her footprints on pages

often surprising us with wonder as imagery trickles

in exquisite words, each one  blending with another

going as a flowing stream travelling

 

not where we would think she leads us but rather

on a journey of her own making

weaving us in and out of a web of words

hues and shades of meaning blended on her palette

ever leaving us with awe as she paints her colors

respectfully on her watercolor paper

enriching our lives by her designs.

 

Author notes

My experience with knowing "going nowhere" is of a delicate soul of my gender, a woman with a deep tender heart and faith, that has communicated in words such imagery and beauty, she has to be remembered as a poet of inspiration... Print credit..www.art.com ..by Edward Hughes..Midsummer's Eve
