Silent Waters, Take Me Home

Silent Waters, Take Me Home, Poetry… 

Barefoot tiptoe strolls connect 

with quiet solitude, finding 

awestruck emotions, breathing  

eyes tearing, hazel on blue… 

azure, an affection  

I pause, amplify water’s  

lull, a stillness heavenly 

mountains in lazy slumber 

testify silence of dreams 

Gentle song notes fluttering 

lucid, camber simple tunes 

my steps wander the shallows 

rippled water’s solitude… 

silent waters take me home 

Wading deeper, drifting as 

cleansing waters cool 

anointing heart and soul as 

open skies in mastery… 

persuasive beckoning
