Walkers of Water

 

Natures tender alms

surround, embrace

 

Casts its lure and I…

spring

summer

and

…fall

 

Captured within

a gentle breeze

inhaled, uplifted

surrendered.

 

Stript, clothed

laid to rest

Serenity plea..s

Sweet Babe of Eve

 

..walk on water….

 

Be at peace

be what eyes

cannot conceive

 

...walk on water…

 

Release what

your heart

fears to believe

 

…walk on water…

 

Tears ripple

cleanse

ache, heal

one step

two

three..

 

and suddenly

I see

many....

so very many

just like me

all race and creed

smile understandingly;

 

humble souls

that boldly perceive

what the heart can achieve.

 

Tenderly, fearfully

barefoot innocence

we dare to blister blindly;

to be the "unseen"

 

Walk-ers of water.


 

 

Author notes

Contest prompt: Poetess AllexisReed

You lead us through your poetry unto many waters
of love, hope, faith, courage.

I wrote this poem with your heart but not your style
...so that you would write it...IN your Style.

So many sit on the shore
wishing they too...could find the courage
to walk on water
past all fears or worrisome decisions
To be what their eyes cannot conceive.
but ..not...you. YOU are a walker of waters.

  • What was the contest holder thinking off? Why did the person who held the contest not make this Gold??? A mystery indeed. I thought that this was stunning. I really did. The imagery, and also the almost spiritual-like feeling I got from this was something else. Very well done Kath.

    This gave me tears, tears of joy, for other than one person, I've been alone here, afraid, to be seen....thank you...this is just beautiful and you write from the soul...

  • beautifully written and constructed. A lovely tribute to Allexis.

  • I'm honored that you entered my contest. This was a beautifully constructed poem. I love the song and the picture. Your words mean so much. If only I could be as strong as you portray in your poem!

    I will read again near the end of the contest and make my final decisions. Good Luck!

  • Dare to dream and dare to live them. What a wonderful message your poem conveys! Beautifully worded and such a pleasure to read!
